Valor: the Veterans of Vietnam – Archives

Pub_MedValorNo war in American history has been so misunderstood as the war in Vietnam. Yet, no matter how the waging of the war is debated, one fact is certain: the men and women who served in Vietnam did so with the same sense of honor, and displayed the same valor, as any other generation of Americans. The Vietnam War produced a tremendous number of heroes, from Medal of Honor recipients to the prisoners of war who survived a brutal captivity, but never lost their dignity. Valor: The Veterans of Vietnam, was an opportunity for those who served to share their stories of valor, as well as those with whom they served. This publication was discontinued when American Valor Quarterly was debuted.
