I need some help from you Vietnam War Vets. I am teaching my 8th graders an eighteen week unit on several books about the Vietnam War. I would appreciate any pictures you could post here. If you could write comments about the pictures and your impressions of the people, customs, and country, I would really appreciate it. Thank you all!

Here's my contribution. I didn't take as many photos in Vietnam as I wish I had. (There were other things more pressing than taking snapshots) However, as other Vietnam Vets found my blog, they contributed some of theirs. My blog also has a lot of material, none of it base on the false news stories written by journalists with an ideological narrative to push. Sadly, most of the "history" being taught in schools these days come from that narrative. My collected blog posts are also available in a free book on Smashwords at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/248158

All bloggers love getting comments on their postings. I'm no exception. It proves that we're not just whistling in the dark.

SGT David Reynolds -unfortunately I have no photos of my time in Vietnam 1966-67 all I have are the indelible memories in my mind of that place and time but I think you are doing a great thing in bringing to these young people what that time period was like ,I would be happy to relate in print any information that could be useful to you.

Just happen to have one in my cell gallery. From Pleiku in 1967 or 1968, not sure exactly, but it was just after the Looches got in country, but before Tet in '68. I was sitting on the floor of a OH-6A holding the minigun I was preparing to mount.
