The site above is a website dedicated to those who fought the in the Vietnam War. Within the website there are many pictures from Vietnam children and ariel views to artifacts such as uniforms and Medal of Honours.
"The mission is not to entertain but rather to educate the viewer and provide a glimpse of day to day life for the Pilots and crewman who lived it."
This picture to the left, is just one of the pictures posted by a member of the public. It is a souvenir postcard from Fort Rucker.

I chose this site because I felt that you can learn alot by looking through pictures rather than just reading information. Although they have a section called The Bad Guys which is about Vietnam they are paying tribute to they history of this war. It gives Vetrans a place to remember about what they did, reconnect to the past and tell their stories for future visitors.

The creaters of this site encourage the public to post images of the aircraft, markings, art work, unit signs, people, places, souvenirs. insignia and sights of the war. With all these memories a story can be told.The section that caught my eye the most was the Then And Now section where people have sent in photos of themselves or places during the war and then a picture of them today.

I would advise people to click on thewebsite and listen to the link on the Home page. Vietnam's UH-1 Huey Pilots taken from a talk by Joe Galloway given at a VHPA Memorial Service at The Wall during the VHPA convention in DC. He speaks about how the sound of the Helicopter affected him then and how it still does today.
