1973185751973. Cooper Howard L. Vietnam War photographs and promotion letter circa 1970s document African American noncommissioned officer service within an integrated U.S. Army and the formal evaluation structures governing advancement during and immediately after the conflict. The material centers on Sergeant Cooper's presence within a deployed unit in Vietnam alongside fellow soldiers and local civilians and extends into the postwar administrative process through a typed recommendation for promotion dated 1973. Together the photographs and letter situate the archive within the broader context of African American military participation during a period marked by both expanded combat roles and documented racial disparities in discipline assignment and promotion within the armed forces.<br /> <br /> Archive of 20 vernacular photographs and one typed letter. Vietnam and United States circa 1970s. Photographs include 15 color Kodak snapshots measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches or smaller depicting Sergeant Cooper and fellow soldiers primarily in uniform in Vietnam. Four black and white Agfa snapshots measuring approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches show Cooper other servicemen and Vietnamese children. One Polaroid photograph includes two African American men standing beside Cooper with handwritten captions. Additional images depict base life and group interactions within the unit. Accompanying the photographs is a typed letter recommending Sergeant Howard L. Cooper for promotion signed by Transportation Supervisor Alice J. Griffin Fort Ord California dated 14 November 1973 one page measuring approximately 8 x 10 3/8 inches.<br /> <br /> African American soldiers served in large numbers during the Vietnam War with many attaining noncommissioned officer roles that required both leadership within units and navigation of institutional structures that did not always provide equitable advancement. The inclusion of a formal recommendation letter alongside the photographs connects personal service to bureaucratic recognition documenting how military authority evaluated performance in the postwar period. The combined visual and documentary record offers material for examining race leadership and military administration in the Vietnam era. Photographs show light wear; letter with pinholes discoloration and minor ink smear at upper edge; overall very good condition. unknown
1970185581970. Vandergriff Sergeant. Vietnam War photographs 1970 to 1971 document integrated U.S. Army service during a period when African American troops were serving in substantial numbers in combat units and negotiating both military duty and racial dynamics within the ranks. The images record a tour of duty from basic training through the final days before return home placing the archive within the later phase of the Vietnam War when troop morale racial tension and antiwar sentiment were all intensifying within the U.S. military. The presence of a visibly multiracial unit with many African American soldiers situates the photographs within the post-desegregation military structure established after World War II offering direct visual evidence of daily life interpersonal relationships and combat readiness in an officially integrated force.<br /> <br /> Archive of 68 color Polaroid photographs. Vietnam 1970 to 1971. Images measure approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches to 3.5 x 4.5 inches with approximately one quarter mounted to black board and the remainder loose. Several loose photographs include handwritten captions and soldiers' names on verso. The sequence follows Sergeant Vandergriff's service from training through deployment with scenes including soldiers smoking drinking and posing with standard-issue M16 rifles and M1911 sidearms. Additional images show helicopter interiors and aerial views a destroyed grounded helicopter tanks aircraft drill formations and encampments. Photographs also depict Vietnamese villages and local civilians including two children bathing in a river. Unit identification is not explicitly stated in the archive. Other photos depict aircraft drill marches tanks weaponry villages and locals including two Vietnamese children bathing in a river. It is not clear which unit these troops belong to. It is possible they are in the 101st Airborne which was prominent at both Birmingham and Evans.<br /> <br /> During the Vietnam War African American soldiers served in disproportionately high numbers in combat roles particularly in airborne and front-line units at a time when the U.S. military was confronting internal racial conflict alongside external war. This archive documents the lived experience of a multiracial unit operating within that structure showing informal social interaction alongside military activity and equipment. The combination of candid personal imagery and operational context provides material for examining race military culture and everyday life in a late-stage U.S. combat theater. Some photographs show minor staining and image degradation; overall very good condition. unknown
1960232781960. Black U.S. Army soldier's photo album documenting home and military life between Virginia and Vietnam in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Black servicemen moved through the formally desegregated Army during the first major U.S. war fought after official military integration. Centered a young black enlisted man the album tracks the life of service through photos at camp soldiers in formation military equipment helicopters and with portraits alongside other soldiers. Though the Korean War was the first U.S. war that was formally desegregated the units still saw unequal integration and opportunity while the Vietnam War marks an era in which a desegregated military was already well established. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 92 color and black and white photographs ranging from 3.5" x 3.5" to 3.5" x 5" Virginia and Vietnam late 1960s to early 1970s. Mounted in a 10" x 14" spiral bound album. Many images show the compiler in uniform and civilian dress some of the earlier home scenes have handwritten inscriptions en verso. Other images show helicopter scenes in flight and at camp; tent lines wooden barracks; soldiers standing in formation gathering in small groups and posing beside military vehicles and equipment. A Virginia license plate anchors the soldier's home state and the use of quippy captions gives this soldier a voice identifying some individuals by their first name and one particular youthful photo of himself captioned "Dunn will be leaving on January the 1st army But you know he is trying to get out of it said he was going to school. Ha! Ha! Uncle Sam's school" giving a glimpse into the prior aspirations of young Black man right before being drafted.<br /> <br /> Black soldiers entered the Vietnam era military in large numbers at the same time that civil rights struggles Black Power politics and mounting criticism of the war reshaped the meaning of service for African American men. This album gives weight to that history with repeated presence of black men within camps and comradeship with white soldiers. Adhesive residue to corners and backs of some images edgewear to album and leaves and expected handling wear; photographs generally clear and legible. Overall very good condition. This album shows the ground level of Black military experience in the early post segregation Army. unknown
1972WRCAM55575Various places in Vietnam 1972. 145 photographs all but thirteen in color most approximately 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Majority of photographs mounted on black paper stock with non-archival adhesive tape some photos retain remnants of tape at corners. Some images a bit faded but generally in very good condition. A tremendous collection of photographs depicting the personal life and military service of an unidentified African-American soldier with the last name "Williams" serving in Vietnam during the war and with numerous family photographs at home. The majority of the photographs are undated but those that are dated place the collection roughly between 1968 and 1972. Other identifying characteristics in the photographs indicate that the soldier was likely part of the United States Air Force 93rd Security Police Squadron which provided security and air base defense during the Vietnam War. There is a photograph of Williams leaning against the sign for the 93rd SPS dormitory. <br> <br> Notable in the sixty or more photographs from the soldier's time in Vietnam are images from an unidentified American Air Force base depicting soldiers in the barracks a mess hall and fraternization among soldiers; additional photographs show a heavily-armed Williams manning a bunker holding an EBONY magazine posing with a South Vietnamese soldier in an urban setting and staring strikingly at the camera wearing machine gun ammunition and a hand grenade. A series of thirteen images were taken at "Le Van Loc" a popular Vietnamese night club located on the Tan Son Nhut Air Base near Saigon indicating Williams may have been stationed at or near that base. Personal photographs show individuals of varying ages presumably family members who appear alone or in groups and at times are photographed with Williams. Several of these photographs feature children presumably Williams' at home and at an Elmhurst School function. Williams seems to have been especially proud of his motorcycle as it features in a few shots. <br> <br> A collection of both service and family photographs capturing a young African- American serviceman during the Vietnam War. unknown books

1942193041942. Coon Clarence; Coon Michael. Coons family Air Force service archive 1942-1944 and 1968-1969 documents two generations of American military experience across World War II and the Vietnam War offering direct evidence of shifting military culture wartime attitudes and generational identity within a single family. Clarence Coon's New York World War II service as an engineer gunner in the Fifteenth Air Force in Italy situates the archive within the Allied air campaign over Europe while his son Michael Coon's deployment to South Vietnam places the later material within the context of a deeply contested and culturally transformative conflict. Clarence's letters and scrapbook entries foreground a disciplined and duty-oriented perspective shaped by mid-century wartime expectations while Michael's photographic record presents a markedly different tone capturing leisure irreverence and camaraderie among soldiers during the Vietnam era. The archive preserves Clarence's written voice including lines such as "Another card to let you know that I don't do all my writing to women" and his commentary on the 1942 New York gubernatorial election "The radio just announced Bennet's Defeat. To bad. Well we will see what Dewey can do. I wish him luck" as well as his observations during stateside training "Well as far as I'm concerned they can give Tenn. back to the Indians. We are walking around in a sea of mud. Its all day rains every 5 min. I wouldn't live in the South for anything." Together these materials establish a continuous family narrative linking wartime service political awareness and personal expression across two major twentieth-century conflicts.<br /> <br /> Coons family Air Force archive. United States and Vietnam 1942-1944 and 1968-1969. Group consists of two photograph albums from Vietnam War service and one World War II scrapbook accompanied by a quantity of associated ephemera including patches medals registration cards business cards a ring and a dog tag. Archive contains approximately 123 photographs across the albums and scrapbook along with numerous postcards including 26 with manuscript correspondence on the verso and three pages of a letter incorporated into the scrapbook. Scrapbook also includes newspaper clippings documenting Clarence Coon's training and service progression including flight training in Westover Massachusetts; Nashville and Smyrna Tennessee; technical training in Gulfport Mississippi; and gunnery and pistol range distinction at Tyndall Field Florida. Vietnam-era albums depict Michael Coon and fellow servicemen in informal and candid settings including scenes of drinking recreational outings helicopter transport weapons handling and interactions with entertainment venues.<br /> <br /> The juxtaposition of World War II and Vietnam War materials within this archive provides a concentrated record of evolving American military life particularly the transition from the structured collective ethos associated with the Second World War to the more individualized and culturally expressive environment of Vietnam-era service. Clarence Coon's combat role aboard B-24 Liberator bombers during missions over Italy aligns the archive with the strategic bombing campaigns of the European theater while his writings document both military routine and domestic political awareness. In contrast Michael Coon's photographs capture the lived experience of American soldiers in Vietnam beyond formal operations including leisure dissenting humor and the visual language of 1960s youth culture within the military. Light wear from handling throughout with typical album and scrapbook aging and ephemera showing minor creasing; overall very good condition. unknown
