Vietnam Veterans- Their Personal Story!

The links below are stories taken from interviews with Vietnam Veterans, most of whom come from the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. The work started on this project while in my 3rd year studies for the Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts), my major being photography. The text for the work came from interviews with the Veterans, recorded and transcribed, then if possible, one or two photographs of the Veterans in Vietnam was copied, I then took a current photograph which went alongside the image from Vietnam. I hope, when the work is finished, to be able to publish these stories and images, for what the Veterans themselves have to offer is something that we all should hear, things that were bottled up. The Veterans have suffered a lot, and many people do not understand their plight, my hope through this work is to be able to enlighten people, so that they may understand what it is that has troubled them for so long. I have a page for each of the Veterans that I have interviewed, along with an excerpt from text is an image of them today, and where possible, an image of them in Vietnam. These links will be added to as the work progresses. The text for each Veteran is the text picked by them.
