Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

RN Tagore.

USCIS encourages anyone who lost immigration documentation as a direct result of the explosion and building collapse to promptly apply for a replacement.

Examples of documents critical to replace are: the Naturalization Certificate (application to replace is Form N-565), the Permanent Resident Card or “Green Card” (application to replace is Form I-90), and the Employment Authorization (application is I-765). All forms are available at http://www.uscis.gov/forms or by calling 1-800-870-3676.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials will give special consideration to fee waiver requests from applicants who lost their residence or employment as a direct result of the explosion and apply to replace certain documents.  USCIS will also consider waiving the fee for the collection of biometrics, which is required when filing a form I-90, if requested by a customer affected by the explosion. Fees may be waived when applicants demonstrate an inability to pay.  All requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Naturalized citizens are encouraged to file form N-565 to replace their naturalization certificates, even if they do not have an immediate need for them. Naturalized citizens can’t replace passports, apply for a variety of benefits, or register to vote without a naturalization certificate.  Filing promptly to replace a lost certificate can avoid inconvenience in the future.

For more information on USCIS and its programs, please visit www.uscis.gov or follow us on Twitter (@uscis), YouTube (/uscis) and the USCIS blog The Beacon.

Submit Photos for Inclusion in Education Center at The Wall in Washington, DC

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund has coordinated with local organizations and volunteers nationwide in a call for photographs and back stories of the servicemen and women who gave their lives in the Vietnam War. The photos and stories will be displayed at The Education Center at The Wall in Washington, D.C.  VVMF is also calling on the generous support of Americans to help raise the funds to build this facility.

In 2003, legislation passed that authorized the construction of the Educational Center at The Wall by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. Plans for the exhibitions at the center include the display of pictures and stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam, some of the 400,000 items left at The Wall and a celebration of American service from Bunker Hill to Baghdad.

Out of the 58,286 men and women who did not return from the Vietnam War there are still over 26,000 Vietnam veterans listed on The Wall who need corresponding photographs and stories. We are los­ing Viet­nam vet­er­ans at an alarm­ingly fast rate. Each day we lose about 390 to ill­ness and age. Their sto­ries are in dan­ger of being lost for­ever if we don’t take action now to ensure they become a part of our col­lec­tive national mem­ory. Tens of thou­sands gave their lives dur­ing the many years of con­flict and their names are etched into the black gran­ite. But as they are on the memorial, they are more than names and so we must do our part to remem­ber them.

The call for photos is part of the Faces Never Forgotten campaign, encouraging friends and families of veterans, as well as every citizen, to ensure that the memories and stories of those inscribed on The Wall are never forgotten.  VVMF hopes to give every service member the honor of being fully remembered as a person and not just a name.

“To complete the mission and begin construction of the Education Center, we will continue to depend on the dedication and generosity of those individuals, organizations and communities that make it their goal to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and contribute in their honor,” says Jan C. Scruggs, President and Founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. The cost of construction for the Education Center is $115 million, of which $26.9 million has been raised to date. Like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Education Center at The Wall will be completely funded through private donations.

About VVMF:  Established in 1979, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., promoting healing and educating about the impact of the Vietnam War.

The Education Center at The Wall will be a place on our National Mall where our military heroes’ stories and sacrifice will never be forgotten. With plans to begin construction in 2016, the Center is a technologically-innovative learning facility to be built on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans and Lincoln Memorials. Visitors will better understand the profound impact that the Vietnam War and other wars had on their friends and family members, their hometowns and the nation. The Center will feature the faces and stories of the more than 58,000 men and women on The Wall, honoring those who fell in Vietnam, those who fought and returned, as well as the friends and families of all who served. The Center will also celebrate the legacy of service that links the heroes of America’s past to those still serving today.
