Don and Helen Leslie oral history recording

Description

An audio recording of an oral history of Don and Helen Leslie on the Vietnam War.

Generally speaking, the interviewees express the lack of patriotism during the Vietnam war in comparison to other conflicts such as World War Two and the Korean Conflict. There is a transcript of this interview. The sound quality of this recording is poor.
