One Hawaii woman is out to change the face of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to honor those who died in the conflict. And she needs help.

About six years ago Janna Hoehn and her husband, both residents of Maui, visited the memorial in Washington, D.C., and etched a single, random name off the wall, Hoehn said in an email. The name belonged to Gregory John Crossman, a complete stranger.

Over the next few months Hoehn said she began researching Crossman and his family, searching for a photo of him.

After finding an old college photo of Crossman, Hoehn said she learned about the “Faces Never Forgotten” for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. The organization’s goal is to match a face with each of the 58,307 names on the memorial wall.

Hoehn said she submitted Crossman’s photo to the group and then began collecting photos for every person from Maui County who died in the conflict. Hoehn’s operation then progressed to her hometown of Hemet, Calif., and eventually to entire states.

Since May 2013 Hoehn said she — with the help of many others — has collected nearly 3,000 photos. So far the Faces Never Forgotten organization has collected 46,000 photos and counting.

All of the photos will be submitted to the “Wall of Faces” online memorial with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, as well as to the future Education Center that will be built next to the memorial in Washington, D.C.

Hoehn said she has collected pictures for all but one of the 14 men from Douglas County who died in Vietnam. Only Donald E. Dillon, who was born in 1934 and died in 1967, remains on the county’s list.

Information from anyone who might be related to Dillon, past friends, coworkers or classmates could be useful in tracking down a photo, Hoehn said.
