Williamson/The Washington Post)One soldier is represented on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial three times. These and other errors made over 37 years turned up in an exhaustive, four-year study of the Wall recently completed by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, which oversees the Wall, its officials said Wednesday.
