One of our researcher/cousins, Mark Prince, sent in this list of Prince Soldiers he found listed on the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Washington, D. C. Just as the name PRINCE shows up in every War our country has been involved in, some survived, some did not. We gratefully acknowledge the sacrifices they made.
