Randolph County, IL, May 15, 2016 - A new website, http://Randolph21.weebly.com is being kicked off for Memorial Day Weekend. The website tells the stories of the 21 men from Randolph County that died in Vietnam as told by the newspaper articles published at the time of their deaths. Included on the website are the GPS locations of the local grave sites for people that would like to pay their respects. The Liberty Bell of the West Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution will place a bouquet of flowers with an American flag and the flag of Service over Memorial Day weekend at the 18 veteran's graves that are buried in local cemeteries. The flowers and flags were donated by an anonymous donor. The website was created by a member of the Liberty Bell of the West chapter as part of the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration.

Liberty Bell of the West Chapter NSDAR is a Commemorative Partner with the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration. Commemorative Partner participation is pivotal to reaching Vietnam veterans and their families on the local level. Additional information about the 50th Commemoration Event can be found at http://www.VietnamWar50th.com or http://darlibertybell.weebly.com. For questions contact libertybellofthewest@gmail.com.
