Veterans History Project

VIETNAM VETERANS
WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY!
Did you serve in the military or support the war effort
as a civilian during the Vietnam War?
Did you reside in Davidson County at the time of your service,
or do you presently reside in the county?
If you answered yes to these two questions, the Veterans History
Project at the Nashville Public Library wants to hear your story!
As a local partner in the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project,
the Nashville Room of the Nashville Public Library is conducting recorded
interviews with local veterans, and those who served in support of them.
We are also interested in gathering materials such as letters, diaries,
memoirs, photographs, and similar items relating to an individual’s service
to be added to the collections of the Nashville Room. If you are interested
in participating in this project, please complete the Biographical Information
Form on the back of this sheet and return it to the address shown.
- Were you drafted or did you enlist?
- How did the legacy of World War II affect your expectations about
the military?
- If you served stateside or in a role away from the front lines, what
was your job like?
- How many tours did you serve?
- What was it like living in the jungle?
- How adequate was your training before you went overseas?
- What was it like to be in the middle of the Tet Offensive?
- What kind of medical care did you receive?
- What kind of news did you hear from home?
- What was your homecoming like?
- What impact has your military service had on your life?
If you are interested in participating in this project, please complete the
