The Irvin L. Young Memorial Library is hosting the traveling exhibit, Wisconsin Remembers: A Face for Every Name. The exhibit features a photo for each of the 1,161 Wisconsinites officially listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The exhibit also includes additional photos for names that are listed on The Highground Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Neillsville, WI. Wisconsin Remembers is a tribute to lost life and lost potential. 

The exhibit has been provided by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and was created in collaboration with Wisconsin Public Radio, PBS Wisconsin, and volunteers. From the mid-2000s through 2016 volunteers collected pictures of those who were killed during the Vietnam War from friends and family, students, teachers and others who simply wanted to put a face to the names listed on the Wall in Washington, D.C. Wisconsin was just the fifth state in the nation to find a photo for every resident listed on the Wall. 

The exhibit is available to view in the library at 431 W. Center Street in Whitewater through May 18.
