Truths and Myths about the Vietnam War

“The Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association Foundation is proud to present a new 47-minute documentary film, entitled “Truths and Myths about the Vietnam War” with an introduction by actor Sam Elliott.

The purpose of this film is to honor those who served in the Vietnam War, by providing factual information to address the decades of misinformation that has presented a skewed historical perspective of the war. 

We believe this a very important and long overdue film, one that captures the information and lessons learned most Vietnam War veterans want reported about the war.

As Vietnam veterans, we consider this film to be our enduring legacy for future generations. To view or download this long overdue film, please click on the following link to the right.”

Vietnam Stories for you!

This triumvirate of Vietnam tales: I'm Ready To Talk, I'm Ready To Talk Two and I'm ReadyTo Talk Three cover hundreds of first-person stories from the AVVBA members who lived them, while answering our nation's call to fight in Vietnam between 1959 and 1975. Stories come from every military branch and cover the war from the Delta to the DMZ, plus the waters of the South China Sea and bases in surrounding countries.


All three of these books show the emotion, the good times and bad, the life-changing experiences that anyone with an interest in the Vietnam War will benefit from reading. Chances to experience these stories are rare. So if you wonder what your father or grandfather experienced in Vietnam, any one of these three books is a great place to start. Buy them all, you'll be glad you did.
