Title: John Fischer Interview, December 8, 2021
Date: December 8, 2021
Creator: Sara Casazza; John Fischer
Description: As a result of the highly contentious nature of the Vietnam War, various attempts have been made to commemorate different viewpoints of the conflict. Some movies display military propaganda and the necessity of intervention, while others condemn U.S. involvement and those who served. The struggle to define the war is further evident through the extreme reactions of both hatred and love for the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. This oral history project seeks to address the ways in which Vietnam veterans have come to understand their service and the Vietnam War’s memory in American culture. This project would benefit an archive as it allows those who study the Vietnam War to learn not just how soldiers felt while serving, but in the years after, an element which has at times been overshadowed by more traditional war stories. Interviews conducted for American University's Fall 2021 Oral History course by Sara Casazza.
