Just a simple description of what life was like for you in Vietnam and any memories you have about people and events will do fine. It can be as long or as short as you like. It can include pictures within the story. Pictures and graphics can also be used to enhance this page. You can also and additional pages, including a picture archive of your time in Vietnam, related articles and documents, audio and video files, or even a few pictures of your family and life experience our visitors may find interesting. Use your imagination and our Webmaster will do what he can to lay it out for you. Contact the Webmaster to get started, or just send your story in an email. You are an important part of our history.
