How This Home Page Started

A Visit to Vietnam

Remembrance

Veterans Organizations and Support Groups

The motivation in creating and publishing this WWW page is to provide a dynamic multimedia-based "chronology" of the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of Veterans, their families, and their friends.
Within this context, the term "Veteran" refers not only to the war fighters of either side; but also to the men and women who served the war effort in Vietnam in myriad other capacities.
The contributions to this Home Page span the period beginning with the early war years and continue through present-day Vietnam. The building of this page is an ongoing distributed, collaborative enterprise supported by Vietnam War Veterans and Friends of Veterans around the World.
The debate over recognizing the current government of Vietnam still evokes strong emotions among many Vietnam War era Veterans and those who lost relatives and friends in that war. The contributors and supporters of this Home Page, while respecting the rights and feelings of those who oppose U.S. assistance, believe that it is time to move forward and put the war behind us.
This Home Page is dedicated to the memory of Vietnam Veteran Lewis Burwell Puller, Jr.
Lew was the "pointman" for this patrol, and guided us safely to the Line of Departure.
"We'll take over from here, Lew. Your spirit, dedication, and vision will inspire all of us to carry on in your footsteps.
Semper Fi, old warrior. We'll miss you."
