[Janet's note: This is the entire state.] You can also access, online, state level casualty lists for the Vietnam Conflict, sorted either alphabetically by last name (pdf). [Janet's note: This is the entire state.] The National Archives and Records Administration has custody of two data files in the Records of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Record Group 330). They contain records of U.S. military casualties from the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. The records in the Korean Conflict Casualty File are for persons who died as a result of hostilities in Korea, 1950-57, including those who died while missing or captured. The Combat Area Casualties Current File includes final records for persons who died 1957-1995, as a result of either a hostile or nonhostile causes in the Southeast Asia Combat Area, including those who died while missing or captured. The Center for Electronic Records has prepared state casualty lists by creating extracts from the data files. Each state list incorporates selected data elements for all deceased casualties whose state "home of record," as identified by the serviceman or woman upon last entrance into military service, was that state. "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, or other common uses of the term "hometown." In the Korean data file place of "home of record" for Army casualties is by county, while for Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps casualties, it is by city/town. In the Vietnam-era data file place of "home of record" is city/town for all services. The state lists include the following data for each casualty: name, rank or grade, branch of service, home of record, date of death, date of birth (Vietnam only), category of casualty. The state lists may be ordered in either of two formats: alphabetically by last name; or, alphabetically by "home of record." The charge for each state list is $4.50, with a minimum charge for mail orders of $10.00. In addition, full printouts or machine-readable tape copies of complete records from these data files are also available for a cost-recovery fee. If you would like to purchase a paper copy of a state-level casualty list, please contact the Center for Electronic Records. All requests must be prepaid. Checks should be made payable to the National Archives Trust Fund.
