The Surgoinsville Area Archives and Museum is in the early stages of researching and creating a panel exhibit that will highlight local veterans of the Vietnam War. We need your help identifying veterans, providing photos of them in uniform in Vietnam, and select information including their service, rank, job, unit and years in Vietnam.

Please message Jean Keirsey (https://www.facebook.com/jean.keirsey.2025) if you or a loved one served in Vietnam.
