with Combat Veterans of the Vietnam War.
Bao Ninh, North Vietnamese Army
A Silent Generation:
Experiences that were buried at home
Brothers to Enemies, and Back Again:
Conflicting visions of the future in a nation divided
Caught in the Crossfire: Life and culture in a kinetic conflict
Too Close for Comfort: The indigenous guides, translators, and unconventional militants whose support of the U.S. threatened their families' lives in addition to their own
The following represents merely a small sample of the veterans who have made the experience of the Vietnam Project so special. Countless others have generously contributed their time and care to recording the stories of our nation that deserve to be told. All of these men have done so with outstanding kindness, dignity, and respect that honors the United States of America.
The Vietnam Project met Brent Carey of the U.S. Army (Retired), who served as a Huey pilot in Vietnam and as an aviation instructor in Germany, prior to joining the Los Angeles Police Department. At LAPD, Sergeant Carey continued his career as a rotary-wing aircraft pilot, becoming one of the first Air Wing SWAT pilots in the 1980's. Sergeant Carey additionally remembered his time served as a Patrol Officer in divisions across the city.
SSG John Stryker 'Tilt" Meyer discussed his experience penetrating deep into Laos with the Studies and Observations Group of MAVC-SOG, and the close relationship of respect and mutual trust that he shared with his brave indigenous counterparts.
