A follow up to my November 8, 2017 message about Veterans Day, "Remembering Vietnam," and the value of records. I mentioned in that message that the exhibit about the Vietnam War that we were about to open on November 10, 2017 included a panel about research at NARA that revealed that Chief Warrant Officer Stephen E. Lawrence was due a Distinguished Service Cross for his actions in Vietnam. You will find his story and those of other helicopter pilots and Vietnam veterans (including Rich Boylan, the NARA archivist who assisted Lawrence) in my blog post, "Welcome Home." https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivalexplorations.wordpress.com_2017_11_16_welcome-2Dhome_&d=DwIBaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=DS9DmSRs84etPw12DTxlWYchqkPacmDaS2BAowPqD4k&s=UgzhCMl0FGVEVh9dNLfkmBg9ncFdH23mNepFxuf_tpk&e= The title reflects the demonstrted value of preserving and making accessible records reflecting a 360 view of complex events and recollections, as observed in the exhibit opening day events that I and others at NARA helped staff November 10, 2017 and in recent days. Some of those records were preserved through the records management process in Federal agencies and departments, others through donation of presidential records prior to passage of statutes requiring their transfer to NARA.
