SUMMARY: As a US Air Force Sergeant, I served in the American War in Viet Nam, assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Lai Khe, III Corps (March - October 1968), and Advisory Team 55, Rach Gia, IV Corps (October 1968 - March 1969), directing air strikes against the enemy. During my year in Viet Nam (it’s a country, not a war), I photographed and documented daily life. As an International Educator, my primary interest has been to understand the cause of, and process of recovery from emotional (invisible) wounds of war. To that end, for more than 50 years I have lived and traveled throughout the United States, South Korea, and Australia (America’s two major allies in our war), photographing Veteran parades and culturallyrelated events. Since March 1989, I have traveled throughout Viet Nam, photographing the people, culture, and landscape. MILITARY: US Air Force, February 1966-December 1969, Honorably Discharged, Sergeant; Presidential Unit Citation, Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Force Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Bronze Star for Valor, Airman of the Month-October 1967, Airman of the Quarter-December 1967.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: 2004-Present: Free-lance Documentary Photographer/ Writer/Speaker, “The Effects of the American War in Viet Nam on Veterans in Viet Nam, the United States, South Korea, and Australia.” Photographic memoir, One Soldier’s Heart: The Emotional Wounds of War (in-progress). Because of the high rate of suicide among American military (one is too high), I became an embed freelance photographer with the US 4th Infantry Division in Baghdad, Iraq (November 2008), and Regional Command-East, Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (December 2009). My hope was to gain some clue as to why a good soldier would kill himself or herself. By interviewing those effected by the emotional wounds of war in various cultures, through classroom, conferences, and civic presentations, my efforts are to increase awareness of this invisible wound and the potential for recovery; short- and long-term. In 2009, I am the only American invited to visit Da Chong (K-9), the military base of Ho Chi Minh during the American War. April 2005, I returned the diaries of bac si (medical doctor) Dang Thuy Tram (killed by Americans in June 1970, near her jungle medical clinic, Duc Pho, Quang Ngai Province, South Viet Nam) to her remaining family in Ha Noi. Her family published her diaries in July 2005 and have sold about 500,000 copies in a country where 6,000 is a “best seller.” The English translation: Last Night I Dreamed of Peace, the Diaries of Dang Thuy Tram. On 30 April 2025, The Biography of Dang Thuy Tram will be released in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. From 1999-2004, I am only American War Veteran to teach about the American War in Viet Nam, at the United Nations International School-Ha Noi, Viet Nam.
