The Literary Contribution of the Vietnam Veterans - National Vietnam War Veterans Day - 2021

 

March 29th marks National Vietnam War Veterans Day,  To commemorate this occasion, Logue Library will salute the Literary Contribution of the Vietnam Veterans to our society.

Not only were the solders battling in the depths of this war, but they found the time to create original poetry, music and other writing as well. 

Here is some great trivia

How long was this war?

Well, according to the website, The World Atlas, " However, it is believed and accepted by many that the war began on November 1, 1955, and ended on April 30, 1975."


Below is a poem by a Soldier in the 4th Infantry in Vietnam, Larry Manuel
