Suicide Wall - honoring Vietnam Veterans

Dedicated to memorializing Vietnam Veterans who have taken their own lives, to gather the names of them and offer the stories for others, to offer links to Vietnam Veteran organizations, and to provide information about the book Suicide Wall by Alexander Paul. At this site, you can view names of veterans registered on this SUICIDE WALL of the internet.

STARTLING STATISTICS
Estimates vary on the number of Vietnam veterans who have committed suicide, the definition of suicide can be ambiguous, and there is no other reporting method that we know. Estimates range from 20,000 to 200,000 suicides. Please click on Suicide Statistics for further information.

THE PROPOSED WALL
The concept of a second Vietnam memorial, an actual white marble wall in Washington, D.C. comes from the the novel, Suicide Wall , by Alexander Paul. This additional memorial wall would list the names of the Vietnam Veterans who have taken their lives since the war.

ONLINE REGISTRATION
This site will serve as the electronic equivalent of the proposed Suicide Wall. Its purpose is to promote awareness of this issue and to encourage healing. It provides a system for the online registration of the names of Vietnam Veterans who killed themselves after the war, to determine how many there were, to memorialize their loss, and to resolve that the United States of America will never again risk the lives of its soldiers in a war unless it is willing to prosecute that war with full resolve (See United States Resolution).
