We want to be able to do the same whether they are able to attend the event or not. Complete program, celebrating the era. Walking in we printed all posters from partner portal for the veterans to look at. Michigan National Guard, had 3 volunteers in dress blues to usher people to their seats. We did have a local newspaper in attendance. As they were seated music/military videos of the era were playing on the big screen. Complete program agenda attached. All attendees were very pleased. Response from 3 of the 5 local veterans lost in the war. Did have videos to play between speakers. After Action Review: - Not enough time to look at posters of info before ushers put them in seats. - Request RSVP from the very beginning for vets in attendance - Prior rehearsal, even though it could not have ran better - Prior instruction to speakers pertaining to mic and audio equipment - Better coordination of volunteers to set up/tear down event

"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.

As Vietnam Veterans come to our office to file disability claims we are able to present them with their Vietnam Pin, the program brochure and bumper sticker. I can't tell you how much they appreciate it. It is hard to say how many Vietnam Vets we see each day as they come to our office for appointments, tax issues, DD-214 questions, Loans. I put 50 but that is not a real number. Sorry. But I can tell you we are handing out some everyday.
