Vietnam Veterans - Rye N.Y.

The Veterans listed in the picture of The Rye City Hall Plaque served during the Vietnam War. Since no official list exists, we have used this photo to transcribe the names and create individual pages to host their biographies.

• We are looking for information regarding these men and women including: Discharge Records, Pictures, Rye Address During the War and Branch of Service. Also, the specific outfit in which they served, Example for Army: (K Company, 15th Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division).
• Since there are very few online resources, we need Vietnam Veterans and their families to write their own brief biographies. If you choose, you can submit information for us to try. You can get a great idea of what we need as detailed below:
