Lithuanian Vietnam Veterans

I have posted earlier on Lithuanian's in WWI as identified by Govnor.  I am sure there were also Lithuanian in WWII and a few I have identified in Vietnam.  I am sure there are more than this list, but these were obvious.  The ones in red are those with a South Australian connection.  I believe they all returned.


The Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans lists approximately 61 000 men and women who served in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in Vietnam, or in the waters adjacent to Vietnam, during the conflict between 23 May 1962 and 29 April 1975.

Greetings.
To whom maintains/compiles the Liuanian Vietnam Veterans List on Australian Lithuanian History.
If you access the Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans and do a search, inserting Lithuania in the Country of Birth box at the bottom of the search page, you will find a few more Lithuanian Viet Vets to add to your list.
I came across your blog whilst researching deceased Vietnam Veterans for inclusion in/on the Internets AMVIF - Vietnam Veterans Mortality Listing.
