Many people leave photographs at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. So, too, photographs on personal memorial pages on The Virtual Wall can help express the personality and the face behind each name on The Wall. Photos may be of the person named on The Wall at any age including with family or friends. There is no fee and we do not accept donations for publishing memorials or photos.
If a personal memorial page already exists on The Virtual Wall, we can add photos at any time.
By sending one or more photos, you request and grant us permission to publish them on The Virtual Wall web site and The Virtual Wall CD ®. The staff who work on The Virtual Wall retain the right to be selective about the photographs we add to The Virtual Wall. You maintain ownership of the copyright on your photographs.
Sending the photo by email:
This is the safest way to ensure that priceless original photos don't get lost in the mail.
If you or a friend own an image scanner, scan the image to create a file. Alternatively, take the original(s) to a department store, grocery store, or drug store that has a modern photographic counter. For under $10 they can scan the images and give you a floppy disk or CD with digital copies of the images. Also, many of those stores have walk-up kiosks where you can do the scanning yourself or ask for help. The person at the store may be able to email the photo(s) directly to us (see below). You may wish to print this page to take with you.
Please scan pictures with the scanner set to 300 dots per inch or higher. Save the image as a JPEG or .jpg file. Please do not embed the images in doc or pdf documents, as the extraction process may cause a loss of image quality. If the image files are too big fit on a floppy disc, use the scanner software to remove the edges of the image and/or reduce the dots per inch. If the image is a little too dark or the color isn't quite right, we can fix that. We can also crop off unwanted portions of an image.
Send the image file as an email "attachment" (usually a paper clip icon), do not use drop-and-drag because all email programs don't yet use the same protocol. Please send only one image file per email note and please don't send more than four until you've received a reply from us. Ensure that your email note tells us the name of the person(s) in the photo.
If you don't want to send the file by email, you may send the floppy disk or CD to one of us through the U.S. Postal Service (addresses below). Make sure you copy the image files to another media or to your hard disk first, as media sometimes get damaged during mailing. If you want the media back, send an S.A.S.E., however, floppies and CD's now cost less than the 55 cents postage.
Sending the original photo through the U.S. Postal Service:
We discourage sending the original photo to us because of the risk of loss of the photo during mailing, but we will accept them if you wish. Send the photo to one of us, below. Include an S.A.S.E. Be sure to include your email address and the name of the person(s) in the photo(s). We'll scan the photo(s) and send them right back to you.
