This memorial to those who died in the Vietnam War from Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts is a joint project of the News Department and projo.com, at The Providence Journal.

The site includes a searchable database of information on the 279 local men who gave their lives in the war; a timetable that gives context to the War against the backdrop of the ideas and events that shaped the period; and a comprehensive set of Web links for those interested in learning more.

The project development team included: Peter Phipps, assistant managing editor; Andrea Panciera, projo.com editor; Linda Henderson, library director; Lisa Raff, researcher; and Randall Richard, reporter.

We gratefully acknowledge the design assistance of Jamie Wolloff, the musical contributions of Jason Barry and Jason Kimball, the research assistance of Betty Cordin and Jennifer Hazard, and the voice talents of John Holdridge.
