"More Than Self: Living the Vietnam War" is an exhibition based on over 650 veteran oral history interviews preserved in the Atlanta History Center's Veterans History Project. Accompanying the interviews are dozens of compelling photographs and artifacts that illustrate the realities of war. Artifacts include an AR-15 rifle, a Viet Cong hand grenade, and a Montagnard crossbow crafted by native Vietnam inhabitants. The three demonstrate the distinct differences in weapons and combat techniques used by enemies and allies. Photographs of Red Cross “Donut Dollies” near the front lines and a box of C-rations provide a glimpse into the daily life of the men and women in country. A nurse’s boonie hat illustrates her account of protecting severely wounded men while under attack in an evacuation hospital. A telegram notifying a navigator’s wife that her husband’s B-52 was shot down and the striped garment he wore when imprisoned in the Hanoi Hilton remind visitors of the brutality suffered by those who fell into enemy hands. In the U.S., images of protesters in Atlanta's Piedmont Park and a welcome-home sign propped against the front of a serviceman’s home provide two perspectives on the American public’s support for the war. First-hand accounts of verbal and physical assaults on returning veterans expose the treatment of those lucky enough to make it home. This exhibit honors those who served, recognizes the sacrifices of their family members, and encourages all veterans to share their story with the Veterans History Project.
