PENDER, Neb. (AP) — The hometown of the first casualty listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has been corrected, thanks to a Nebraska woman’s research.

Pat Schoenfelder looked forward to seeing a traveling replica of the memorial when it stopped in her hometown of Imperial, Nebraska, in April. Her interest also was piqued when she heard the first name listed was that of a Nebraskan. But Internet searches showed her that Army Maj. Dale Buis, who died July 8, 1959, was from Pender, Nevada. She could find no such place.

She found records that showed Buis was from Pender, Nebraska, and contacted The Virtual Wall website, which posts biographical information about the people listed on the memorial. The website now lists him as being from Nebraska.
