The writer posted the following message as a remembrance at www.thevirtualwall.org, an extraordinary website dedicated to those Americans in the military who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. Their names, more than 58,000 of them, are inscribed on the black granite Vietnam Memorial (“The Wall’’) in Washington, D.C. In his remembrance, the writer refers to Saving Private Ryan, a movie in which Capt. Miller (played by Tom Hanks) is sent to find and bring home young Private Ryan. All of Ryan’s brothers have been killed in the war, and he is the only remaining son. Capt. Miller dies saving Private Ryan.
