Where is a list of the names of the US soldiers who died in Vietnam?
For US Soldiers probably not; and neither for US Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and Airmen that served in country. That would be well over 2 million names. Most likely, the closest way to obtain a list would be to obain Shelby's book titled, "Vietnam Order of Battle." That book lists all US Army units in Vietnam, and possibly the USMC, USAF, USN, and USCG units in Vietnam. THEN each unit's "Association" on the website would have to be contacted to obtain the men's names that served in those units in Vietnam; THEN ADDED UP (compiled). This way, the list of 2 1/2 million names could be reduced to several thousand names in unit increments. 1. To date, one man (Shelby) has compliled all of the units that fought in Vietnam. 2. One man (Hobson) has compiled all of the fixed-wing (jets and airplanes-NOT HELICOPTERS) aircraft that were lost in Vietnam, nearly 3,000 of them; by type, serial number, date of loss, pilot's name, reason for loss (SAM-Missile, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Cannon Fire, MIG-Air to Air Missile, Operational, etc.), and branch of service. 3. One man has compiled the names of all of the US Firebases and Warships that fought in Vietnam. 4. And the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has compiled the names of all of the Vietnam War dead.

Are thailand veteran's considered veitnam veterans?
Yes, we are. Many in-country veterans do not think we are. I was in Thailand in 1975, NKP RTAFB. Being there after the “official” withdrawal in 1973, we are really then orphans of the Vietnam war, which did not officially ended until May 7, 1975, by an Act of Congress. The last battle did not occur. until 15 May, 1975, with the USS Mayaquez Incident. In this action 10 Marines were killed (3-were left behind and killed later by the Khmer Rouge, 2 Navy Corpsman, 2 Air Force crew members, not to mention the 18 Security Policemen, and 5 crew members ( call sign Knife-13). These Air Force personnel were originally responding to the to the Mayaquez incident some “Real Vietnam Veteran” sites cite only approximately 3-5000 Air Force personnel were in Thailand/Guam and were never exposed to any danger. They have little regard for the veterans who served in a position to directly support their action in country. In 1975, there were 27,000 USAF personnel in Thailand still supporting the S. Vietnam, to include assisting in the evacuation of Phnom Pen and S. Vietnam. US personnel were in Thailand for 10 years, so closed to 300,000 served there, not just 3-5000. also, according to DCAS-Vietnam Conflict Extract File, dated April 29, 2008, the following is an official accounting of the number of US personnel killed in the Vietnam theater of war: 728 in Laos; 523 in Cambodia; 10 in China; 1,120 in N. Vietnam; 178 in Thailand; 55,661 in Vietnam, total 58,220. again, according to the “Real Vietnam Veteran” sites those who served any where but in Vietnam proper did not face any danger, say from anti-aircraft fire Over enemy territory, attacks on airbases in Thailand, being fired upon while conducting rescue missions in Lsod, Cambodia, N. Vietnam and yes S.Vietnam. All members who served in South east Asia are Vietnam veterans! in fact by an act of Congress, in respective of where on served during the Vietnam War, we are all Vietnam Era veterans.
How can you find some who served in the Vietnam War if you only know his name?
That's well over 2 1/2 million names. Over 3 million names, if counting the men that served in nearby Thailand and bordering nations during the war (Thailand was one of the homes for the B-52 Bombers). Suggest starting by contacting the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America); possibly they might be able to help.

Am I a draft dodger from Vietnam if I as a Canadian on an immigration visa I went to England when I received a draft notice?
Canada sent no men to Vietnam. Other than individual Canadians which crossed into the US and enlisted into the US Army/Marines. Several Canadians were killed in Vietnam while serving with the US Army/Marines. If any man receives a draft notice from his nation, and he ignores that notice; he's a draft dodger.

To what capacity did women serve in the Vietnam war?
This was the age of traditional armies; political correctness had not taken hold of armies back then; the communists used females to man anti-aircraft sites (AAA sites) in North Vietnam while their men marched south to fight. They used women to carry supplies, administer medical support, and repair support. US and allied armies utilized females primarily in the medical fields. In US organizations, US females were always VOLUNTEERS.
