Online Profiles of Fallen Vets Help Families Heal
Reporter: AP
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas couple says a social network
specifically for veterans has given them a new way to honor a
brother killed in Vietnam 46 years ago.
Bernie and Anita Laguna have customized a Together We Served
profile for Anita's brother, Raymond Bernal Jr., who died while
serving in the Army in 1966.
The military social network has been online since 2003, but
publicly launched a "Roll of Honor" with profiles of fallen service members just before Memorial Day.
The website has posted basic military records for about 100,000
people killed in recent American wars, but family members can add
additional details about their loved one.
Anita Laguna says she still grieves her 19-year-old brother. But
her husband says the website will preserve his memory for posterity.
