Context · from the records

What was happening

Seven names on the Wall carry the date January 8, 1973. In January 1973, 29 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.

The record places this loss in North Vietnam, outside South Vietnam — most often the sign of an air crew lost over the North or the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
