Our SoldiersThe Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., is a stark reminder of this nation’s great loss in one of our longestand deadliest wars.Today, 58,245 names are inscribed on the wail of the dead and missing, including eight women who were nurses.By year’s end, Lorain County will have its own memorial in Amherst for the 98 men from our cities, villages and townships who died in that war.Like the wall in Washington, the names will be inscribed in granite as a lasting tribute to the fallen.
