Please join us for a special ceremony as we honor Carl D. Wadleigh, who will be the 1,566th name added to our Memorial. Carl was killed in action in Vietnam on May 31st, 1968. In 1972, he was mistakenly identified as Master Sergeant Frank Parrish, and this error was only corrected in 1989.

Now, we have the solemn duty to properly recognize Carl’s sacrifice and dedication to our country.

We invite you to join us on June 23rd at 1 PM to pay tribute to Carl D. Wadleigh’s legacy and welcome him to our wall with the honor he deserves. Your presence will help ensure his commitment is never forgotten.
