Label TextVeteran: Paul B., US Navy

It’s been a few years since I spoke with Paul. At the time he was suffering from the advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease brought on by his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. Although he had fought a hard battle with the VA to receive proper treatment and compensation, his story was not focused on that. He shared with me his time in the Navy and was very proud of his boot camp experience. He went on to tell me of his time in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. There are many layers in this print that show not only Paul’s veteran experience, but also include tangible evidence of our time shared while recording his oral history.
