Reported at index strength: Beyond Brenneman, the Vietnam decoration record holds one name, and it is printed at the strength it reached — reported, not verified. The St. Joseph County veterans index carries a row for Gary J. Honold of Penn–Mishawaka: Vietnam, Army, a captain, with "Purple Heart; Silver Star" in its notes. No citation, general order, or Hall of Valor record for Honold was found in the searches run, and no detail of any act is in the record reached. The index is a compiled county record built from obituaries and family submissions; its decoration notes are the kind of claim the award record exists to test, and the test here is unfinished rather than failed. He stands in this section as the index reports him, labeled as such, and nowhere stronger.
The sixteen: Mishawaka's sixteen Vietnam dead, counted name for name in the Wars section from the Virtual Wall's home-of-record roll, were tested against the same registers. No valor decoration for any of the sixteen was reached in the searches run — a statement about the searches and the published registers, printed at exactly that strength. The dead of that war commonly hold the Purple Heart and, for the Army's infantry, the Bronze Star in its service form; neither is printed here for any man by inference, and a name-by-name settlement waits on the sources named in the closing article — the men's service records and their units' general orders. Their honor in this build is the roll itself, kept whole in Wars.
