Honor Roll Project-Horry County,SC Vietnam Memorial

      Heather Rojo of Nutfield Genealogy has issued a challenge once again this Memorial Day. She is asking Bloggers to take a picture of and transcribe names from a War Memorial in our local area. The blog posts will be added to her Honor Wall Project, an ongoing effort to make veterans names available in search engines on the internet.

      On behalf of my Father, John Allen Hudson, who served in Vietnam and has lived the past several years suffering from the effects of his time there, I would like to add the Horry County, SC Vietnam Memorial to the Honor Roll Project.
     This Memorial, which was dedicated on May 25, 1985, can be found in Conway, Horry, SC in front of the old courthouse on the corner of Elm and 3rd Avenue.
