Interactive Vietnam Veterans' Memorial

The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Wall is now available in an online, interactive version created by Footnote.com and that National Archives.  The online version was assembled from  6300 photos of the Wall, and includes 58,320 searchable names linked to each veteran's service record.  Visitors may add photos and tributes.

The image that makes up the online wall is about 460 feet wide and measures 400,000 pixels wide by 12,500 pixels tall, making it the largest image of its kind, according to Wired.

I encountered a lot of glitches while trying to explore the online Wall, likely due to the fact that it is just debuting this week and heavy traffic is expected. Hopefully they will be fixed soon.
