Certainly. The late Vietnam War historian K. W. Nolan interviewed hundreds (possibly thousands) of Vietnam veterans when he wrote his series of historical books from the 1980s through the first decade of the 21st century. Nearly all of the main characters (veterans) in each of his books are referenced in the appropiate appendixes of each volume.
Probably; but how are you going to know that they will be real Viet Vets? Not long ago, there was a rash of fakes in America and some foreign countries. Wannabes from grunts to jet fighter pilots, all Vietnam War veterans...supposedly. Be sure of proper documentation (Proof) before "buying their stories."
Vietnam is a communist country. US forces are not allowed there. However, US veterans visit Vietnam as tourists every year.
American casualties and veterans to the Vietnam War (1959-1975) have been honored across many levels. Community recognition has involved local parades and wreath laying ceremonies. Local and national recognition has come from the construction of monuments and roads. The Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC is a chief example of this honor.
No, but some states do. Illinois gave $100 bonuses to Vietnam veterans and now does the same for Aghan and Iraq veterans. They never heard of inflation.
North Vietnamese & South Vietnamese Vietnam War veterans are most certainly still living in some of those nations.I added something to the discussion board of this question. Please take a look.
Strictly military. Remember; Civilians volunteered to go to Vietnam (large contracts). Military men were ordered there (or else!).
Yes there is, even Veterans from WW2 fought in Vietnam.
Civilian contractors, (any civilian) are not supposed to be listed on the wall. If he was a US serviceman, obtain his DD-214 (discharge certificate) or any other documentation showing that he was a US Serviceman and died in Vietnam, then contact the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall personnel.
Contact the Veterans Administration (VA) or any of the following Veterans Groups: 1. AMVETS (American Veterans-created in 1944 by WW2 veterans) 2. VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars-created in 1899 by Spanish-American War veterans) 3. AMERICAN LEGION (created in 1919 by WW1 veterans) 4. VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America-created in 1979 by Viet War Vets)
No way to tell. Any career army man (career soldier) who was in his 40's was 9 out of 10 times a WWII veteran.
They were fighting to unify their homeland into a single country without any foreign domination or occupation.
The death of the serviceman was confirmed.
