By WAYNE FORD | The Athens Banner-Herald | Published: April 9, 2021 ATHENS, Ga. (Tribune News Service) For two years, a steady effort to find a photograph of a Georgia soldier killed in the Vietnam War failed to provide an image. But recently, a series of conversations between cousins and a former classmate ended the long search. Last week, Janna Hoehn of Hawaii told the Athens Banner-Herald she had received a photo of Fred L. Thomas, a U.S. Army private who died Aug. 15, 1966, on a battlefield in South Vietnam. Hoehn is a volunteer for the Wall of Faces, an online project that links a photo to every name engraved on the black granite wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C.
