Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Philip Napoli. I am an assistant professor at Brooklyn College. I am looking for Vietnam veterans and/or their family members from New York City who would be willing to participate in an oral history project. This oral history aims to supplement the "official" record of events with the memories of the little guy, the person who did not necessarily make the big decisions, but was affected by them anyway, and saw the influence of the War on the City.

I am interested in talking with veterans, of course, but also the husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters whose lives were changed by the events surrounding the Vietnam War, and would like to talk with you.

I have collected approximately 83 interviews from Vietnam Veterans all over New York City, and would like to find another 20 volunteers willing to sit and talk with me. Any assistance you can provide will help to preserve the memories of our Vietnam Veterans.

For more information you can call us at 718.951.4539, during our office hours on Tuesday, Thursday 9-4 or email us at [email protected].
