At Roots Television, we're big fans of the internet and its ability to connect people and places that might never have the chance to meet in real life. And that's why this week we're also big fans of Footnote's latest project with the National Archives - making the Vietnam Memorial Wall online and interactive. Take a look at this incredible project, how it works, and the people behind it.
Also this week, we're pleased to share a pair of videos submitted to RootsTube by ThinkGenealogy.com - Are You Smarter than a Grade School Genealogist and 10 Things Genealogy Software Should Do. Og is delighted every time he sees a new addition to his RootsTube collection, and he's longing for more of you genealogy stars-in-waiting to jump on the bandwagon. So this week, we're featuring a some of our favorite viewer submissions, and Og hopes to inspire a few more of you to take your talents worldwide.

A web site similar to the one described above opened in 1997.
The web site named THE VIRTUAL WALL at www.VirtualWall.org
has thousands of personal tributes to the fallen in the form of letters, photographs, and citations.
THE VIRTUAL WALL does not accept donations, fees, or advertising in order to honor the fallen.
In 2001 THE VIRTUAL WALL partnered to take high-resolution photographs of the Wall, which can be browsed and zoomed at
