The Vietnam War In The Words Of Those Who Lived It.Welcome to In the Shadow of the Blade online, a place to connect veterans and the people they fight for. This project was inspired by the 10,000-mile journey of a battle-scarred UH-1 “Huey” helicopter into America's backyards to hear the untold stories of Vietnam War veterans and the families who waited for them to come home. The Huey has landed, but the stories will live forever. You're invited to join our continuing mission to share your experience and to honor and learn from our nation's veterans. WHY THE HUEY?Everyone who served in Vietnam has a Huey story. Many of them talk about the Huey in the fond tones one uses to recall a beloved childhood pet. They'll tell you how it felt and how it smelled. And every one of them will tell you how it sounded. The WHOP WHOP WHOP of the Huey was Vietnam's soundtrack, echoing through the landscape like a drum call to war. Even now, thirty years and more later, most Veterans will tell you they can sense an approaching Huey long before anyone else can either see or hear it. |
