Requesting Directory Assistance

Redlands, CA, June 2007

If you are planning to host a "Moving Wall" event in your community, I hope that you consider requesting my assistance as a volunteer. Rifle, CO, June 2005

My main mission is to search for veterans and their locations on The Moving Wall. Using computer software and databases, I can search by first name, last name, city, state, branch of service, and casualty dates. One advantage of my system is the capability to pull up and print out all the veterans from specific cities.
