From the early 1960s through March 1973
hundreds of thousands of men and women served in
Vietnam, in an undeclared and highly controversial war.
During the peak years of that conflict, from May 1968
through December 1972, a young reporter, Nancy E. Lynch,
relayed the hopes and fears, the joy and the tears, of
hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from
Delaware through the Vietnam Mailbag column she wrote in
the Wilmington Morning News.
At the start, Nancy wrote one column a week. As the
mailbag filled at an ever faster pace, she progressed to
two columns a week, and then to three. No matter how
much she wrote, there never seemed to be room to tell
all the stories. |
