Wonderful site and great work you're doing. I returned from my second trip to Vietnam in May this year, when I met Paul Murphy and Janene Steward in Vung Tau, who work in country with the Australian Veterans Vietnam Reconstruction Group, which seems similar in its aims to Vets with a Mission.

I am a 57yo Australian woman researching, collecting and editing life stories from womenfolk associated with Australia's Vietnam Veterans - long term project. For comparison, i would like to include a couple of life stories about women (wives, partners, sisters, daughters, mothers) associated with American and/or Canadian Vietnam Veterans. Please email me if you're interested or with any other comments re my project.

I am the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran and doing a report on my father's experience. He was in the Army and a part of the Big Red One Co. D 1st Battalion 2nd Infantry 1st Infantry Division and stationed in Quan Loi during the spring of 1969. His life style then and his life style now have not changed much and uses alcohol daily to try and forget the past. This website is wonderful. Thank you.
