FORT WORTH Barbara Kinard ?tore the house apart? looking for a photo of her late husband, Army Sgt. 1st Class Dixon T. Kinard. {{more}}

?That woman in Hawaii has been calling me for months,? Kinard said. ?I thought it was in a photo album that my daughter-in-law took. But it was here all along.?

 

Soon the image of Sgt. Kinard, who died in a, 1969 plane crash in the Bien Hoa province of South Vietnam, will join more than 43,000 others on the virtual Wall of Faces being assembled by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

 

The Wall of Faces is one of the latest efforts by supporters of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and will become part of an education center designed to explain the war?s impact and tell the stories behind the more than 58,280 casualties of the 20-year conflict in Southeast Asia.

 

That ?woman in Hawaii? whom Kinard mentioned, Janna Hoehn, has been hunting down and adding photos to the project for almost a decade. She?s directly or indirectly responsible for the recovery of more than 1,500 faces. She has only about 15,000 left to find.

Hoehn contacted the Star-Telegram in an effort to track down more than 80 photos of those who died in Vietnam from the Tarrant County area.

?She has this ability to do amazing things,? said Jan Scruggs, founder and president emeritus of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. ?That includes finding and helping other people find thousands of photographs of the casualties of the Vietnam War. This is a good thing. It brings closure to families and friends and we appreciate her extraordinary efforts.?
