New Mexico & The Vietnam War

A New Mexico PBS Digital Series

New Mexico and the Vietnam War: Portrait of a Generation is a series that focuses on New Mexico’s diverse Vietnam War veterans, families, and refugees that played a major role in the Vietnam War. These first person accounts range from duty, honor, courage, sacrifice, loss and understanding. We share their dramatic stories of honor, loss, and renewal.
