Vietnam Veterans Memorial Application

This application lets you search for names on the Vietnam memorial. The searches seem to link data from the national archives as well as personal stories and photographs.

Professionally, the application is interesting because it uses a similar linking/tagging technology I'm attempting to implement with my Harris County Historical Document project at work. The theory is if you let users tag documents themselves, the application will get better as people use it more.

Privately, it would be interesting to see the application at work with someone who has a vested interest.
