Vietnam Mailbag
Vietnam Mailbag: Presented by Delaware Humanities Forum
When American troops in Vietnam first answered a young reporter’s call for correspondence more than four decades ago, they could not have imagined the enduring power of their words. Their letters, photographs, and memorabilia became a lasting legacy for future generations.
Author Nancy Lynch shares and reads from her book Vietnam Mailbag: Voices From the War, 1968–1972, based on her popular newspaper column Nancy’s Vietnam Mailbag. She is joined by Vietnam veteran Rick Lovekin—a Huey helicopter door gunner, Cobra crew chief, and frequent letter writer to Nancy—who presents slides from Vietnam set to the unforgettable sounds of 1960s music.
