I recently had the opportunity to go to Washington DC and visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I am a Vietnam Veteran and I also have a brother who has been listed as "Missing In Action" since September 1967. My whole reason for going to DC was to see his name listed on the memorial monument. I was successful in finding it and had a few moments of reunion with him.

While there, I also found the names of four Allred cousins listed there. I don’t know where they fit on the family tree, but hopefully Don or someone can figure it out.
