William Wallace Momyer Jr. 1916-2012
celebrated World War II fighter pilot who helped plot postwar tactics for the Air Force and commanded aerial combat and bombing operations during the early years of the Vietnam War (...) During the Tet offensive in 1968, when North Vietnamese forces attacked South Vietnam’s cities and military bases, General Momyer’s high-flying B-52 Stratofortresses pounded enemy troops at Khe Sanh with 100,000 tons of explosives. The operation, dubbed Niagara, inflicted heavy losses on the North Vietnamese, who eventually broke off the attack. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/03/us/gen-william-w-momyer-celebrated-pilot-dies-at-95.html

Vietnam's President Thieu resigns 21 April 1975
The President of South Vietnam is forced to resign accusing the United States of betrayal. In a TV and radio address, outgoing President Nguyen Van Thieu said his forces had failed to stop the advance of the Vietcong because of lack of funds promised to him by the Americans.
In a scathing attack on the US, he suggested US Secretary of State Dr Henry Kissinger had tricked him into signing the Paris peace agreement two years ago, promising military aid which then failed to materialise. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/21/newsid_2935000/2935347.stm

Gen. William C. Westmoreland commanded United States forces in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/19/international/asia/19westmoreland.html
Westmoreland commanded U.S. troops in South Vietnam as the U.S. military presence grew from about 20,000 advisers in early 1964 to 500,000 troops in 1968.
Facing a confounding enemy, a fearful public turning rapidly hostile and an undependable ally in the South Vietnamese government, Westmoreland came to personify the military establishment against which a generation rebelled. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/18/AR2005071801713.html

Tet offensive Jan. 31, 1968 - Feb. 25, 1968
At 3 o'clock in the morning of Jan. 31, 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched a wave of simultaneous attacks on South Vietnamese and American forces in major cities, towns and military bases throughout South Vietnam.
The fighting, the heaviest and most sustained of the Vietnam War, coincided with the Lunar New Year, or Tet, and it has been called the Tet offensive ever since.
It was a military turning point in the war, but it was far more than that in its painful demonstration of the limits of American power in Asia and in the psychological impact it was to have on Americans at home. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/01/31/world/tet-offensive-turning-point-in-vietnam-war.html

After a while, senseless brutality became little more than a mere spectator sport. We found this young woman--in her early 20s at most-- lying on the road as we swept it for mines.
It was the first thing in the morning, barely after sunup, She had been shot at point blank range sometime during the night.
It was alleged that she was a Viet Cong sympathizer and had been stripped
Someone else had covered her over in
plastic but as we arrived,
It was hard to believe someone as young and innocent looking as she could be the

Vietnam Operation Junction City February - March - April 1967
In one of the largest air-mobile assaults ever, 240 helicopters sweep over Tay Ninh province, beginning Operation Junction City.
The goal of Junction City is to destroy Vietcong bases and the Vietcong military headquarters for South Vietnam, all of which are located in War Zone C, north of Saigon.
Some 30,000 U.S. troops take part in the mission, joined by 5,000 men of the South Vietnamese Army.
After 72 days, Junction City ends. American forces succeed in capturing large quantities of stores, equipment and weapons, but there are no large, decisive battles. http://www.pbs.org/battlefieldvietnam/timeline/index2.html

Gulf of Tonkin Resolution August 5, 1964
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, also called Tonkin Gulf Resolution, resolution put before the U.S. Congress by President Lyndon Johnson on Aug. 5, 1964, assertedly in reaction to two allegedly unprovoked attacks by North Vietnamese torpedo boats on the destroyers Maddox and C. Turner Joy of the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin on August 2 and August 4, respectively.
Its stated purpose was to approve and support the determination of the president, as commander in chief, in taking all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression. It also declared that the maintenance of international peace and security in Southeast Asia was vital to American interests and to world peace.
Both houses of Congress passed the resolution on August 7, the House of Representatives by 414 votes to nil, and the Senate by a vote of 88 to 2.
The resolution served as the principal constitutional authorization for the subsequent vast escalation of the United States’ military involvement in the Vietnam War.
Several years later, as the American public became increasingly disillusioned with the Vietnam War, many congressmen came to see the resolution as giving the president a blanket power to wage war, and the resolution was repealed in 1970.
In 1995 Vo Nguyen Giap, who had been North Vietnam’s military commander during the Vietnam War, acknowledged the August 2 attack on the Maddox but denied that the Vietnamese had launched another attack on August 4, as the Johnson administration had claimed at the time. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/249172/Gulf-of-Tonkin-Resolution

pictures from Vietnam March 25, 2013
Charlie Haughey was drafted into the US Army in October of 1967. He was 24, and had been in college in Michigan before running out of money and quitting school to work in a sheet metal factory.
The draft notice meant that he was to serve a tour of duty in Vietnam, designated a rifleman, the basic field position in the Army. After 63 days in Vietnam, he was made a photographer, shooting photographs for the Army and US newspapers, with these instructions from the Colonel: “You are not a combat photographer. This is a morale operation. If I see pictures of my guys in papers, doing their jobs with honor, then you can do what you like in Vietnam.”
He shot nearly 2,000 images between March 1968 and May 1969 before taking the negatives home. And there they sat, out of sight, but not out of mind, for 45 years, until a chance meeting brought them out of dormancy and into a digital scanner.
At first, it was very difficult for Haughey to view the images and talk about them, especially not knowing the fates of many of the subjects of his photos.
When the digitization hit 1,700 negative scans, Haughey put them on a slideshow and viewed them all at once, and didn’t sleep for three days after. He’s slowly getting better at dealing with the emotional impact of seeing the images for the first time in decades. A team of volunteers has worked with Haughey to plan a 28-image show titled A Weather Walked In, which opens April 5th in the ADX art gallery in Portland, Oregon.
The difficulty of keeping notes in a war zone along with the passage of decades has faded the details behind many of the images, and the captions reflect this fact, with many shots of unknown people in forgotten locations at unspecified times. It is hoped that publication of the pictures can yield more information.
More images from the collection will be released as the project progresses. You can follow the progress on https://www.facebook.com/chieuhoiphoto and http://chieu-hoi.tumblr.com/about . Thanks to Chieu Hoi project volunteer Kris Regentin for preparing much of this introduction and the accompanying captions.

Newsweek’s legendary Saigon bureau chief Francois Sully
The United States began its involvement in Vietnam in the mid-1950s, and almost immediately the government’s sketchy nomenclature underscored the ill-defined nature of the war that was never officially a war. U.S. personnel were “advisers” to the South Vietnamese.
This fiction was maintained throughout the early ’60s, even as the number of U.S. troops escalated every year —11,300 in 1962, 16,300 in 1963, 23,300 in 1964. U.S. combat units, composed entirely of American troops, did not officially appear until 1965, the year these photographs were shot —most of them by Newsweek’s legendary Saigon bureau chief Francois Sully and never seen until now.
By this time, there were 184,300 American troops stationed in Vietnam, and the U.S. government’s motives and policies were being increasingly criticized at home and abroad.

review 15 March 2011 who risked all to capture images of Vietnam conflict opens at Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/mar/15/vietnam-photography-huet-guillot-review
Even during a war that produced some of the most iconic moments in photojournalism, Henri Huet’s images of Vietnam distinguish themselves as particularly artistic and moving. Unlike most war photographers, Huet was a native of the land he was photographing, the son of a French engineer and Vietnamese mother.
Shooting for the Associated Press, he captured an image of a badly wounded American medic continuing to tend to other injured soldiers that landed on the cover of Life magazine and won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Like Capa, the famed chronicler of battle, Huet died in the line of duty: he was shot down over Laos in 1971, at the age of 43. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/galleries/2011/03/13/vietnam-war-henri-huet.html
