If your visit to Washington DC includes a stop at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, you may find the attached spreadsheet of interest. It lists each of the Medal of Honor Recipients whose names are engraved on the wall and how to find their name.
The list is in two parts, by order from west to east, and alphabetical if you are seeking a particular recipient.
The Wall
