      This is the virtual wall of all those lost during the Viet Nam war with the
      names, bio's and other information on our lost comrades.

      First click on a state.......when it opens scroll down to the city...
      the names will appear .......then click on name ...... will show you
      his bio and medals and sometimes a picture of the person.
      You can even search by last name if you don't know their home town.

        I found another bunch of records on the LDS site that might be of help to someone.

        They now have Ohio marriages from 1800- 1958. You can get there this way:
        http://www.familysearch.org
        then click on 'Search Records' you will get a drop down menu, on that
        click on 'Record Search Pilot'.

        When you get to the site click on Search or Bowers Our record
        Collection. On the page it takes you to click on North America on the
        map. It will give you a long list just go down to Ohio Marriages.

        There are no images but there is transcribed info.
