Presented by Nancy Lynch
Today, Nancy Lynch presented a lecture at the Delaware Military Museum from the Delaware Huminites Forum. The lecture was focused on the women (Military and Civilian) who served from Delaware during the Vietnam War and was very well received. All who attended were captivated by the presentation. Hearing the letters and stories from the women written to Nancy during the war was very moving and thoughtful. The presentation was skillfully given having historical information weaved into the beautiful tapestry of the letters. The presentation made you feel like you were listening to the original writers themselves. Nancy is also the author of the much enjoyed and acclaimed book Vietnam Mailbag. The book is the collection of her news column written for The News Journal during the Vietnam War. The column Vietnam Mailbag is believed to be the only one of its kind during the war.
