I'm holding one of these coins and wondered if the names on the coin were actually a person's on the wall in DC. THEY ARE!

Ask KollectorKing? He got raked over the coals by me and two other very knowledgeable "grownups" here for posting uninformed nonsense a while back. This may be his revenge for being "schooled".
BTW, @KollectorKing The 1994 Vietnam Veterans Memorial dollar is a United States coin in our Commemorative series.
I'm warning @Justacommeman and @ColonelJessup to watch out!
really I'm shaking in my boots, what are you a 6 year old...I'm taking my toys home to mommie....boo hoo.

Thanks for removing the flag from my post. Mom should be pleased. I'll bet she would be even happier if you would delete that butt ugly Morgan from this thread. I certainly would.
Are we the next "Krell" ?
These are actual names from the wall. They are from the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. They all died together at the Battle of la Drang, the first major battle in Viet Nam (1965) and was made into the movie, "We were soldiers".
Very nice coin, and for those of us who have been to the Wall, a long overdue commemoration for our lost comrades. Cheers, RickO
funny but the coin posted in this thread cc was sent to me, is it a fake? interesting... I am looking forward to adding the 1994 Comm when I get time. I have Vietnam family members.
Best place to buy !

Da Nang happy valley.
If you have not had the opportunity to visit the Wall in DC (and the other memorials) I would recommend it. It is the Pearl Harbor Memorial of that generation. Very moving.
