title: Eugene Windom, We Did What We Had To

description: [profile bio] Born in raised in Oxnard, California, Dr. Eugene Windom is the oldest of 6 children. His father, a shoe shiner and construction worker provided a modest lifestyle for the family, while his mother, a homemaker performed domestic work for other families on occasion. "We had everything we needed," Eugene says as he describes his upbringing. At 17 yrs old, Eugene graduated high school and joined the United States Air Force after hearing news of an upcoming draft. Scoring in the 95th percentile of the qualifying test, he was placed in the Air Force, the highest ranked service. Despite aspirations to be a dental laboratory technician, Eugene was sent to Florida to work as a warehouseman. In 1966, at the age of 19, he received orders to go to Vietnam. Eugene served one year in the Air Force, collecting bodies of American soldiers during the war in Vietnam. "We did what we had to do," Eugene says almost nonchalantly. Despite his dismal task, he made the best of his time in Vietnam, and has many fond memories. Upon his return, Eugene enrolled in Ventura Jr. College, studied biology, transferred to Cal State Northridge, and eventually attended USC Dental School. He graduated in 1978 and returned to his hometown to practice. Today Dr. Windom is a proud father of 2 children ages 24 and 21, and is developing his own line of dental hygiene products.

title: Marvin J. Wolf, Capturing the Essence of War

description: [profile bio] Marvin J. Wolf was born in the summer of 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. He was a salesman before enlisting and serving in the Vietnam War. He deployed with the advance party of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in August 1965. He was a PFC combat correspondent in the Division Public Information Office. As a combat photojournalist, Marvin accomplished numerous duties. He was once sent aloft in a helicopter to take pictures of the landscape, so that the Special Forces Photo Lab can create an aerial map from his photos. He and others performed the clearing exercise, Operation Golf Course, and created the world's largest helicopter landing field, large enough to disperse more than 400 aircraft, with only hand tools in An Khe. After deploying, Marvin gained experience in the field as a combat photographer and reporter for the next several months. He was once wounded by a shrapnel, but not seriously. When his comrade, Specialist Four Joe Treaster, left after completing his service, Marvin got his job as the chief combat correspondent. He was also promoted to sergeant, and his duties included reporting, photographing, and escorting visiting journalists. In this way, he met and worked with the cream of the international press corps. Near the end of his tour, he spent a week escorting the famed military writer, Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall, and another week escorting the Nobel laureate, John Steinbeck. In November 1966, he became one of only 60 U.S. soldiers and marines to be commissioned as a second lieutenant (Infantry) directly from the ranks. The remaining 59 were Special Forces sergeants and warrant officer helicopter pilots. He left Vietnam ten days after his commission was awarded, and returned only in 2005 as a tourist. With his experience as a writer, Marvin co-authored and wrote multiple books such as Abandoned in Hell: The Fight For Vietnam's Firebase Kate and Buddha's Child: My Fight to Save Vietnam. He resides in California as of today. [profiler bio] The profilers are all students at the University of Southern California. Michael Bachurski is a freshman majoring in Media Arts and Practice.

title: Stephanie Truong, What My Parents Saw

description: [profile bio] Stephanie Truong is a junior student currently attending the USC School of Architecture. She is an American-Vietnamese second-generation daughter of two Vietnamese war refugees who found their way out of Vietnam in the early 70's when they were in their teens. Her mother was born in the city while her dad was from a village, both of them from South Vietnam. Stephanie explained how her parents escaped from Vietnam. Her mother boarded a ship to Thailand and was in a camp there while her dad escaped in a fish boat in the middle of the night. He spent 2 weeks in the boat and struggled for food and water and saw people died. He ended up his journey in a refugee camp in Thailand as well. Both of her parents were sponsored by families who helped them come to America. They settled their new life in the United States and years later Stephanie was born. Stephanie is a great example because as a second-generation child she recognizes the sacrifice that her parents did to escape the war that could have cost their lives if they stayed in Vietnam. She feels proud of them and as an American-Vietnamese she wants to share her parents' experiences with future generations as well as her personal perspective towards the war and how it was taught to her in American schools.

title: An Other War Memorial -- Memories of the American War in Viet Nam

description: This collection of oral histories was created as part of a class assignment for a course titled, “The American War in Vietnam,” developed by USC Professor and Pulitzer Prize Winner, Viet Thanh Nguyen.In this unique approach to course design and student scholarship, the students were charged with contributing to the website, An Other War Memorial (https://anotherwarmemorial.com/), which profiles and commemorates witnesses of the war through oral history interviews. The goals of the course were to create a resource that the students can use in their own studies, can be shared with the public, and be used by future researchers. The viewpoints represented in this collection include American, Vietnamese, and also international vantages. Each profile has one to several videos, interview transcripts, and a profile image depending on the student interviewers’ creative presentation of their interview subject, and also in accordance with the wishes of the interview subjects – for example, in some videos the identity of the interviewee has been hidden.Incorporating these oral histories into the USC Digital Library will fulfill a twofold goal of providing a stable platform for this resource while also acknowledging the students’ contributions to the scholarly community.
