Book Description
Half a century has passed since the Vietnam War, and 50 years' worth of novels, films, and music have dramatized and mythologized the controversial conflict. But this book approaches the war in a uniquely personal way, focusing on individual stories of the men and women from every state and service who served in Vietnam. Their day-to-day experiences are heartbreaking, raw, detailed, and sometimes humorous. Over 58,000 troops lost their lives in Vietnam. The survivors came home to bitterly divided countrymen whose hostility toward the war spilled over to the warriors.These personal stories of our Vietnam veterans give us a glimpse of what the war was like on a personal level. Our effort to recognize them is 50 years late. It is well past time to finally welcome these men and women home, to remember their service, and to honor their sacrifices.

Book Description
While her two sons -- little quicksilver elves, as she called them -- explored the red-rock bluffs and copied Piute face paintings, and while her husband Tom -- Civil War veteran and long-time friend of Mormons -- hobnobbed with the likes of adventurer Jacob Hamblin, Elizabeth Kane befriended the women of St. George. She found that they lived a strange idyllic life but nevertheless made her feel very much at home. Her diary comments on the food (the wine is horrid), an unpretentious but enjoyable cotillion ball, and her discovery that Mormon sermons are as dry and ... orthodox as any I have heard (in Philadelphia).Around the evening hearth Elizabeth's hosts told stories of Nephite wanderers and other beliefs. Artemisia Beaman Snow remembered the Palmyra mystic named Walters who, after trying unsuccessfully to obtain the gold plates from the Hill Cumorah, relinquished the task to his successor, Joseph Smith.In comparison to the people of St. George, she found those in Salt Lake City to be vulgar imitations of the best men and women, the most earnest in their belief, the most self-denying and 'primitive Christian' in their behavior clad in the homespun garments of the remote settlements.

Book Description
A companion book to the documentary produced by Wisconsin Public Television, Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories showcases 40 first-person stories from those who fought in America's longest war. From barely-legal sons of Wisconsin to seasoned soldiers, the men and women in these pages make up a diverse collection of voices: an army chaplain who led services at Khe Sanh but never picked up a weapon; identical twin brothers who discover they are stationed at the same South Vietnam base; a Hmong refugee who fought the Secret War at age 12 in the jungles of Laos and later moved to Milwaukee; two prisoners of war whose years in captivity total almost 14; a Medal of Honor recipient; and dozens more. The stories in these pages expand beyond the borders of the war to include personal accounts of the events leading up to it, as well as the experiences of veterans as they return home to civilian life at the height of antiwar protest. Supported by original maps, photographs from the veterans' own collections, historical chapter introductions, biographies, and a comprehensive "honor roll" of Wisconsin-born soldiers who died or remain missing, Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories is an unforgettable collection and lasting tribute to our veterans.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II in 1945. Of the 16 million service members who fought in that war, it is estimated that only 855,000 are still alive today. What's more, those survivors are dying off at a rate of almost 500 each day. The rush is on to capture as many of their stories as possible, while some of them are still with us. In Our Service, Our Stories, 36 veterans from Indiana recall their experiences of military service during World War II - what they saw, heard, said, felt and did. And how they got on with their lives after the war. This is their service. These are their stories.
