Legacy of War

About the Book

Throughout the 20th Century Evansville became known for its tremendous contributions and sacrifice during times of war. The Vietnam War was no exception. For the first time in one place you can read about the all too short lives of the soldiers from Evansville who lost their lives fighting for their country in Vietnam. They were a diverse group representing all Evansville High Schools. They were brothers, fathers, and friends with varying interests and backgrounds.

These brave young men represented the best Evansville had to offer from the Vietnam Era. Read their profiles and you will likely find someone you know. Keep their legacy alive. They must not be forgotten.

Legacy of War is a 100% charitable project. The beneficiaries include the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, VFW Post 1114, and the Jennifer Solomon Hope Fund. You can read about them in the beneficiaries section.
