              <text>Vo Van Bang was born in the city of Hue, Thua Thien, Vietnam, where  he later served as council member. He was present during the early stages of the Tet Offensive of 1968. He recalls hearing gun shots from the North Vietnamese Army and fleeing to another district to escape the communist onslaught. He later returned to Hue to look for his wife and children. A year after Hue was free from conflict, he helped to organize a committee to search for the missing and the dead. The organization discovered mass graves and counted over 3,000 deceased, which they subsequently disinterred for identification and reburial. The graves included government officials, civilians and foreigners who either had their skulls crushed, were buried alive, or were suffocated. After the Fall of Saigon, he was put into a reeducation camp for eight years. He came to the United States in 1994. He  shares his hope that future generations will know, understand, and learn from his experiences. </text>

                <text>Vo Van Bang was born in the city of Hue, Thua Thien, Vietnam, where  he later served as council member. He was present during the early stages of the Tet Offensive of 1968. He recalls hearing gun shots from the North Vietnamese Army and fleeing to another district to escape the communist onslaught. He later returned to Hue to look for his wife and children. A year after Hue was free from conflict, he helped to organize a committee to search for the missing and the dead. The organization discovered mass graves and counted over 3,000 deceased, which they subsequently disinterred for identification and reburial. The graves included government officials, civilians and foreigners who either had their skulls crushed, were buried alive, or were suffocated. After the Fall of Saigon, he was put into a reeducation camp for eight years. He came to the United States in 1994. He  shares his hope that future generations will know, understand, and learn from his experiences. &#13;

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation  as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

                <text>Chuck Meadows is an American Marine who was first deployed to Vietnam back in 1965. He details his training and his assignments while he was in Vietnam during the war and the multiple tours he participated in. He also describes what he saw and experienced while fighting in Vietnam, including when he found out that during the Tet Offensive in 1968, more than 3,000 civilians were killed by the North Vietnamese Army in Hue. Meadows mentions what he thought about the American coverage of the Vietnam War as well. Meadows has been back to Vietnam many times since the end of the war and he explains what he thinks about the country now and what he hopes the country will become in the future.</text>

He has written the book Distant War: Recollections of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

&#13;
This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>

                <text>Don North was a photojournalist and radio reporter during the Vietnam War beginning in 1964, covering three major phases: the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN), the introduction of American Marine battalions, and the final phase--the disarray and evacuation of US soldiers due to disorganization, physical and mental health, and other issues. In 1968, he reported on the attack of the US Embassy by Viet Cong guerrillas during the Tet Offensive. </text>

This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. &#13;
&#13;
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Hoa escaped Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends. He is the sole survivor.</text>
