Interview conducted by Jeanne Czarnecki and produced by David Addison. Recorded at Headquarters, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, May 19, 2016.
Born in San Diego, CA in November 1928, Arthur R. Lee, son of a naval machinist assigned to Pearl Harbor, enlisted in the Navy at age of 17. It was in Alameda Air Station that he found his true calling as a flight mechanic. Lee was assigned to Guam several times, with the first time in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War. Later his squadron flew from Moffett Field to Pacific islands delivering high priority parts in a rotation resembling the Pony Express. After 12 years of service, he was assigned to ship duty on the USS Ranger. In 1970, he received orders to Cam Rahn, Vietnam, as an Assistant Aircraft Officer in the Naval Air Facility. Lee is a recipient of many medals and service awards, such as the WWII Victory Medal, the Korean War Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm and a Purple Heart. Lee achieved the rank of commander. After 30 years of military service, he retired and returned to school on the GI Bill to complete a masters' degree in Business Management. Lee is a published author for such journals as Smithsonian, Air & space, Vietnam magazine, and Sea magazine. Married with four children, he currently lives in Santa Cruz, and is an honorary member of the Santa Cruz Pearl Harbor Survivors group.

Interview conducted by Jeanne Czarnecki and produced by Jennifer Cockerill. Recorded at the Aptos Branch, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, January 26, 2015.
Born in Michigan, Ann M. Kilty was trained at the Red Cross National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. to become a recreational worker in Vietnam, commonly known as "Donut Dolly." She landed in Saigon on her 21st birthday. From October 1970 to October 1971, Ms. Kilty served in Vietnam, rotating every three months in different military bases, with her first rotation at Bien Hoa, and later in Quihnon and Chu Lai. Her typical daily routine consisted of making Kool-Aid, playing pool, conversing with soldiers, and other activities designed to alleviate the stress on soldiers in a war zone. After her service in Vietnam, she rejoined the Red Cross, working in a burn unit at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, and attended nursing school. Her experience in Vietnam enhanced her sensitivity to all veterans. "Everybody's got a story and we have to allow them to say it with legitimacy and honor. We have to honor that experience," she said in the interview.

Interview conducted by Jeanne Czarnecki and produced by David Addison. Recorded at the Branciforte Branch, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, October 22, 2015.
Charles (Charlie) Gill was born in 1946 in the village of Ballston Spa, near Saratoga Springs, New York. After graduating from Cortland State Teachers College in 1968, he joined the U.S. Army and flew to Fort Fix, New Jersey for basic training. It was his first time in an airplane. Gill served in the Vietnam War from 1969 to 1970, starting with the 47th Regiment, 9th infantry in the Mekong Delta, and later rotated to War Zone C in the highlands and mountains above Saigon. He received his first assignment as a driver of an armored personnel carrier, but was soon promoted to fire team leader, and squad leader. He reached the rank of E5. Gill won various medals for his military service, such as Combat Infantry Badge, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign and Service Medals, the Military Merit Medal, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and the Bronze Star with a V. After returning home, Gill found it difficult to be readjusted to civilian life with his Vietnam experience, and with the realization that his fellow soldiers were fighting a war that was not winning for their country. Gill does not regret his decision to enlist in the Army. It is the military that taught him loyalty and discipline.
