There are 58,281 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and for decades thousands of those American dead were only letters cut in black granite.
Even the man who founded the Wall doubted a photograph could be found for every one. On August 9, 2022, the last face was found.
It began small. Janna Hoehn, a floral designer on Maui with no personal tie to the war, visited the Wall, picked a name at random and made a rubbing of it.
She wanted a photo of that man and could not find one. A cousin who knew genealogy finally did.
She sent it to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, and the Fund asked her to find the 42 fallen from Maui County. She went through old high school yearbooks and had all 42 in six months.
Then she kept going, state by state.
In 2014 more than 24,000 faces were still missing.
That year a Wisconsin newspaper publisher named Andrew Johnson joined the hunt. His son, 1st Lt. David Johnson, had been killed in Afghanistan in January 2012 at age 24.
Johnson said many Vietnam veterans "embraced me and let me know how much they loved my son." He rallied newspapers across his state, and in 2016 his own paper printed a section showing every Wisconsin face.
In western New York the final man had no picture anywhere. No school and no library had a copy of his high school yearbook.
A researcher found one for sale on eBay and bought it.
Puerto Rico was harder still. Hoehn said Hurricane Maria had destroyed libraries and high schools there, and New York libraries had no old yearbooks. Sometimes volunteers found the family and the family had no photo to share.
So for the last names the team got each man's basic training location from the national records center, and a volunteer searched old basic training books.
Hoehn's team posted about 8,000 photos. She found about 5,000 of them herself.
Hundreds of volunteers did the rest: cold calls, obituaries, library visits, small-town newspapers.
This Veterans Day, type any name from the Wall into the Wall of Faces online. A face looks back at you.
All 58,281 of them.

Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.

Hakeem Jeffries accepted campaign money from Palantir. Palantir is behind ICE and Flock cameras.

Schumer meets with Trump in secret.
Jeffries met with Jared Kushner in secret.
It's no secret that they aren't right
for the job. We demand real leadership
that answers to the American people,
NOT the Epstein class.

🚨NEW: Democrat Scott Colom has won the Mississippi U.S. Senate race, defeating GOP incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. He is the first African American to represent Mississippi in 145 years.
RETWEET to congratulate Senator-elect Colom on making history!

Every journalist who stands in front of @hakeemjeffries should ask him if he will commit to public televised hearings of JARED KUSHNER who he met with secretly before the mid-terms.
Every journalist should ask him that simple question ON CAMERA.

If Trump is endorsing Schumer, you know Schumer is going to protect Trump.
This is a no go.

Trump endorsing Chuck Schumer tells you everything you need to know about Chuck Schumer.

Same old f*cking story. Democrats win the midterm elections, and the leaders immediately start talking about unity with Republicans. We the People aren't asking for unity. We're demanding accountability for the abuses of power committed by the trump administration.

Today, 31 years ago, Prime Minister and former Israeli Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli Jew who opposed his efforts to build a lasting peace with the Palestinians
I recall speaking to his widow Leah Rabin in London a year after his assassination. She blamed Bibi Netanyahu for inciting violence against her husband that finally led to his assassination. She even prevented Netanyahu from attending her husband’s funeral with the American President & other world leaders on the mount of olives
She said to me “Netanyahu becoming Prime Minister would cause huge suffering to the people of Israel & the Palestinians & undermine Israel’s reputation & influence in the world”
30 years on how right she was

Democrats, we are telling you right now that if you put Jeffries and Schumer in leadership positions you will be slapping the people who gave you this epic win in the face. It will not go well for you if you ignore this message @dnc @TheDemocrats

ALL DEMOCRATS:
WE NEED TO MOBILIZE IMMEDIATELY!
We need to ensure @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer are not leading our Country!

Only you could undermine a historic night for Democrats by going on TV and saying "The American people don't want us to get even"
It's never been about that.
It IS about ACCOUNTABILITY and the RULE OF LAW.
And your failure to understand this is DISQUALIFYING

OMG the ratio here. NO ONE wants Jeffries and Schumer. Give it up. We will fight you and it will get ugly. Stop circling the wagons and listen to those who brung ya. That would be WE THE PEOPLE who gave you your marching orders yesterday.
Joolie Boolie retweeted
Jeffries and Schumer should not be leaders the democrats are looking up to, unless they want some 'very strongly worded letters.'
Put someone in charge that is going to do the people's bidding, not some centrist moderate who wants to play nice with a cult that ruined the USA.
Joolie Boolie retweeted
Just keep in mind, Schumer and Trump are friends. The kind of friends, that, even after Trump pulled the J6 bullshit, Schumer attended a dinner where Trump was speaking, and laughed at his stupid ass jokes.
I don’t want men or women like that anywhere close to a leadership position in this party.
Joolie Boolie retweeted
Biggest mistake democrats could do now is make Jeffrey speaker of the house and Schumer majority senate leader. BOTH are compromised. BOTH are funded by AIPAC.
OUTST THEM.
ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS.

I'm an American, a U.S. Army veteran, and I live in Europe.
And I'll tell you something that might upset a few people back home.
I want my fellow Americans to enjoy the same rights, freedoms, and quality of life that millions of Europeans already enjoy.
I want Americans to have access to affordable healthcare without worrying about going bankrupt because they got sick.
I want American students to pursue higher education without burying themselves in decades of debt.
I want Americans to enjoy stronger digital privacy laws, meaningful consumer protections, paid parental leave, and guaranteed paid vacation.
I want police officers held to rigorous standards of accountability, where de-escalation is emphasized and deadly force is genuinely a last resort.
I want Americans to understand that freedom isn't just about what the government cannot do to you. It's also about having the security and opportunity to actually enjoy your life.
And before someone starts screaming about socialism, understand something.
European countries are capitalist democracies. They have private businesses, entrepreneurs, private property, competitive markets, and individual liberties. They've simply made different decisions about what protections their citizens should enjoy.
Europe isn't perfect. No place is. But pretending America has nothing to learn from other democracies is ridiculous.
I served my country. I love my country. And I don't believe patriotism requires pretending that America is the best at everything.
In fact, I believe the exact opposite.
Real patriotism means wanting your country to improve, even when that means admitting another country does something better.
I don't want Americans to have fewer freedoms.
I want them to have MORE.
More protections. More opportunities. More security. More accountability. More freedom to live their lives without being financially destroyed by illness, education, or circumstances beyond their control.
And having lived on both sides of the Atlantic, I know that much of this is possible.
We should stop asking why Americans can't have these things and start asking why they're expected to settle for less.
