History/Archival Sites for Vietnam Vets: Byron Edgington Posted: 20 Nov 2014 02:11 AM PST "We Remember" ... and We Should Share With the fortieth anniversary of the fall of Saigon approaching next April, there may possibly be a renewed interest in Vietnam veterans and their stories. I compiled this short list of resources for my fellow vets who may wish to contribute their Vietnam stories, or to read the accounts of others. The list is by no means exhaustive. A quick check of a local library or college history site will produce many more, and likely better resources. A few of these sites are taken from various college history departments. Texas Tech seems to have a pretty thorough website dedicated to Vietnam vet stories, for example. Rutgers University does as well.  If a local college offers veterans a chance to record their stories, we should do that. Many schools do, and it isn't difficult to track them down. One site includes methods for teaching students about the Vietnam conflict, and could be used for our grandkids' teachers, or for those of us who've been asked to visit high schools.  I was asked last year to visit a local school to talk about my Vietnam experience, and the time I spent with those kids was priceless. I encourage any veteran to seek out these opportunities, and take advantage of them. With the war in Vietnam fading into history, and with current similar conflicts around the globe today, our stories must be told, because they still resonate. These history and archival sites should help keep our experience in Vietnam alive: Memoirs From Nam The Vietnam Graffiti Project The Vietnam Center and Archive The Vietnam Center and Archive/General Research Military Records: Vietnam War Military Resources: Vietnam War Electronic Data Records: Military Objectives & Activities: Vietnam War Digital Archive: Documents on Vietnam War The Virtual Wall The Wall of Faces The Vietnam War Song Project Veterans History Project Vietnam War Student Project Vietnam War Commemoration Vietnam Era Veterans Oral Histories The Vietnam War: Oral Histories Rutgers: Oral History: Participate Veterans History Project University of Kentucky: Oral History Project Byron Edgington Byron Edgington The SkyWriter Website Blog Byron's Book Other Articles by Byron Edgington: Vietnam: Arriving at the Truth Do Guns Equal Safety?
