title: Leo Solis, My Body Is My Evidence

description: [profile bio] Leo Solis was drafted into the Army in 1968 and during his time in the Army he was wounded several times, his platoon-mates dubbing him ""Tin Can"" because of it. He was temporarily paralyzed from his injuries, earning him a medical discharge from the Army in 1969. Within a year, and with lots of rehabilitation, he was walking again. Within that year, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs demanded that he return to get his disability (which had previously been put at 50%) reevaluated to make sure that he was not ""scamming the government."" This reevaluation reduced his benefits by 10%, making him feel wronged, and so he never wanted to be treated at the Veterans Affairs Facility ever again. Mr. Solis has worked his way up in the ranks of physical special effects and currently has his own special effects rental business. He has worked on such wide-ranging films as Pirates of the Carribbean and Inception. A link to his work is below: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0813105/ The nature of his work has made it difficult for him to function with the lasting effects of his injuries, namely the malformation of his leg, where his calf has almost completely atrophied. Mr. Solis lives in Granada Hills, California near his family and still works in the special effects business, creating explosions, rain, snow, hail, gunfire, you name it. He does not see his experience in Vietnam as one that drastically changed him emotionally, but physically it has forever left its impact.

Kasey Vaughn Junior, Political Science, Air Force ROTC (Minor in Air and Space Studies) "Leo Solis is my Great Uncle, and it wasn't until we did this project that I heard a lot of his Vietnam stories. As a ROTC Cadet and member of the USAF I took this class wanting to learn as much as I could about the Vietnam War. I was fortunate enough to be able to learn about my family as well along the way." Harrison Wong Senior, Economics "As an Asian, it is interesting to learn about how history that we learn is different from reality" Justin Lewis Junior, Accounting

description: [profile bio] Born in 1967, Sayon Syprasoeuth is of Laotian descent and lived in Cambodia until he was six years old.

After coming to America he researched and learned about the Khmer Rouge and the real perpetrators behind the violence toward the innocent people in Cambodia, who were both Cambodian and Laotian alike.

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.

title: Michael Rank, College Student at War

description: [profile bio] Michael Rank is an associate professor at the USC School of Social Work. He was an infantryman in the Vietnam War, from 1969-1970. Dr. Rank was a senior studying accounting when he decided to drop out and volunteer in the Army to fight in the Vietnam War. His choice to go to Vietnam was out of curiosity and also to make a difference. He wanted a change in his life, because as he puts it accounting wasn't for him. His father was a World War II veteran who became anti-war later in his life. As a young man Rank participated in both anti war protests as well as pro war protests. He knew about Vietnam as a country but despite research he couldn't understand why Americans were fighting in that part of the world, so he wanted to see for himself. In Vietnam he was chosen by the Department of Defense to be an infantryman. He was stationed in Chu Lai. When he came back from the war, he attended Bloomsburg University majoring in Sociology. He then went on to get his Masters in social work at Bryn Mawr College and a PhD in the same subject from the University of South Carolina.

title: Bryan Shaul, Kent State Massacre: The Day the War Came Home

description: [profile bio] Bryan Shaul was born in Northampton, Massachusetts and grew up in a small farming community southwest of Mansfield, Ohio. He attended Northwestern University as a journalism major, but lost focus and dropped out in his second year. When he returned home, he supported himself by booking local rock bands with one of his high school friends. With the Vietnam War ramping up it was not a good time to be male, single and self-employed. Bryan decided to return to college joining many kindred spirits seeking to get a II-S draft deferment. With some experience running his own business, Bryan decided to major in accounting. Bryan chose Kent State University because, at that time, Kent had a respectable accounting program. This time Bryan would have to pay the bills for his education. He was able to convince the administration at Kent State administration that he could attend undergraduate school while functioning as a grad counselor in one of the dorms. Grad counselors received free room and board and a private suite. Bryan received his undergraduate degree a year after the shootings. Recently, Bryan retired and now divides his time between a cabin on the lake in Cascade, Idaho and a condo on Main Street in Huntington Beach.
