I have received a couple of comments referencing Stars & Stripes articles. The ones I posted are the only ones I have, but there is another place you can try.
If you click on Stars & Stripes below, it will take you to the electronic paper. On the left side is a listing for Library Services. Click it and it will take you to a another page. There you will see Archives and the follow message beneath it.
The Stars and Stripes library staff provides research services utilizing our archives, which date back to 1942 for the European edition and 1945 for the Pacific edition. To contact the library staff, e-mail information@stripes.osd.mil.
Not sure if there is a charge for the service, but it would be worth your effort to give them a try.

Excerpt from the site:
The Virtual Wall provides a web site for memorials to those 58,249 women and men who are named on “The Wall”, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, USA; those military persons who gave the “ultimate sacrifice” for their country. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington was built from private donations. The Wall was dedicated in 1982, and completed in 1984 with the addition of the “Three Servicemen Statue.” Since its completion, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington has belonged to the people of the United States of America and has been maintained by the U.S. National Park Service. This web site is not affiliated with the US NPS.
On The Virtual Wall, visitors may leave tributes, letters, poems, photos, and other memorials to someone named on The Wall for other visitors to view. The goal is to provide an environment like The Wall itself, with the dignity and respect those named on The Wall have earned. There are no flashy or noisy distractions, no commercials, and no fee to publish a memorial.
You can visit the Virtual Wall HERE.
