“No event in AMERICAN HISTORY is more MISUNDERSTOOD than the VIETNAM WAR. It was MISREPORTED then, and it is MISREMEMBERED now.”

— Richard NIXON

Who We Serve:

We serve Vietnam veterans who seek to return to the locations where they served and where the emotional and historical legacy of war remains deeply present. Through no-cost, professionally facilitated return-to-Vietnam programs, veterans participate in a secure and supportive environment for remembrance, reflection, and testimony. Participants bear witness to their experiences, honor losses endured, and articulate perspectives that have often remained unexpressed. By preserving these narratives, the organization advances public understanding of the enduring human consequences of war and reaffirms a sustained national commitment to honoring and supporting those who served.

Our Impact:

When Vietnam veterans return to the land where they once fought, they step onto ground that remembers with them—sorrow, duty, and the moral weight of survival—not for nostalgia, but for truth, confronting haunting memories with courage and open hearts. In this deeply human act, former enemies often meet in shared recognition of pain, offering understanding, forgiveness, and quiet compassion; long-carried guilt and grief are met with empathy from Vietnamese people who also bear war’s scars, allowing stories to be told, losses honored, and decades of isolation to give way to connection. Through these encounters, a landscape once defined by fear and loss becomes a place of genuine healing, revealing humanity’s enduring capacity to choose empathy, reconciliation, and peace.

Transfer of Memory:

The transfer of memory is essential to preserving the authentic lessons of the American War in Vietnam and preventing them from fading or being distorted over time. By openly sharing their personal experiences with younger generations and engaging in honest dialogue with former adversaries, Vietnam veterans transform individual recollections into a shared historical understanding that fosters empathy across divides, promotes accountability for the past, and creates meaningful pathways toward reconciliation and healing.

“To honor our war dead is to speak their names and carry their stories forward—remembering that war’s true cost is counted in human lives, not history books.”

— Timothy DAVIS, Founder
