There are many ways to view the names listed on the Vietnam War Memorial. Usually, people seek the names of their friends and loved ones among the 58,235 carved into the monument's smooth black surface.

But researchers have also begun to look at those same names collectively, using computerized methods to sift through thousands of demographic records.

What follows are two lists of statistical data on the Vietnam War gathered by two independent research projects. The first is compiled by The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall Page, an Internet Web site that maintains detailed records on each Vietnam category from various official military records. The full list can be found at www.thewall-usa.com.

The second list was created as the basis for a documentary film series, "The Long Way Home Project." Documentary researchers combed through assorted government records, including the National Archives, Department of Defense casualty records, Labor Department statistics, records on file with the Department of Veterans Affairs and National Personnel Records to build a statistical picture of the men and women who served and died in Vietnam.  The list can be found at Long Way Home Statistics.
