Vietnam Veteran Narratives began as my high school senior project. I am fascinated by how history teaches us about the past and shapes the world today. I first took an interest in history when I was 8 with World War II. Since then, I've dived into many historical periods, but the Vietnam War is particularly interesting to me. Vietnam Veteran Narratives is a collection of stories from those who served in the war, which I hope will provide a better understanding about the human side of this time in history. Vietnam Veteran Narratives will provide perspective on the Vietnam war through first hand accounts of the people who were involved. The stories you will hear are the unique experiences of the veterans.
I am an avid collector of militaria, and I make a significant effort to ensure my collections are as historically accurate as possible. I began collecting in October 2023 and have since made friendships with numerous collectors across the country, especially collector of items from the Vietnam War and World War II.
Ia Drang, Nov. 1965
In November 2023, a friend and I visited the former United States Army post, Fort Ord, in Monterey Bay, California. There, we took "combat" photos while wearing the uniform that would have been worn during the Battle of Ia Drang.
These photographs are not original; they are recreations of living history.
Early Rest & Relaxation
During the same visit, we stopped at Carmel Meadows to take photos of what a soldier would have worn on any given day outside of combat.

U.S. Advisor (Early war)
In March 2024, my friend and I took more pictures depicting what a U.S. advisor would have worn during the early years of the war.
