Preserving Stories Through Oral History
Video Clips
Take a peak at clips from the Oral History Theater within the Vietnam Era Educational Center. By presenting oral histories of the people who lived through this era, we can bring the story even closer to our visitors. This vast array of memories helps bring a personal voice to the many faces of the war. From a mother who lost a son, to a war protester to a three-tour veteran, these individuals represent the millions of people whose lives were forever changed by the Vietnam War and bring the hard, cold facts into the proper perspective.
The one hour presentation is broken down by topic into several shorter pieces on each of the following topics.
