Note that there are four TAVV chapters in Texas: Austin, Wichita Falls, Smithville & Texarkana. The president of the Austin TAVV Chapter is Don Dorsey.

On the online "Virtual Wall" website, visitors may also leave tributes, letters, poems, photos, and other memorials to someone named on The Wall for other visitors to view - similiar to the activities that take place at the real Wall. 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, no fee to publish a memorial, and no hand held out for donations.
Each name on the index pages of The Virtual Wall leads to a memorial for that person, a memorial written by someone who had a personal connection to the man or woman being remembered
