Description:
Vietnam
Mailbag
Speaker: Nancy E. Lynch
Topic: History, United States
History
When American troops in Vietnam answered the call to correspond
with a young reporter four decades ago, they could not have envisioned the
enduring relevancy of their war letters or the rich legacy their words,
photographs and memorabilia would leave to succeeding generations. Ms. Lynch
discusses and reads selected war letters from her book, Vietnam Mailbag, Voices
From the War: 1968-1972, based on her popular newspaper column, “Nancy’s Vietnam
Mailbag.” She is accompanied by Vietnam veteran Rick Lovekin, a Huey helicopter
door gunner, Cobra crew chief and frequent letter writer to Nancy, who shows
slides from Vietnam set to 1960s music.
