Subjects include personal military experience (being drafted or enlisting), education (military training, life lessons), food, communication, humor, friendships, travel, relationships, medical treatment, veterans' activities, and effects of military service on later life. The collection also contains transcripts of the interviews, a glossary of terms, and a preface to the project written by Jerry L. Clark.Clark recorded the interviews between May and September 2011. Clark is a Vietnam combat veteran who grew up in Whitley County, Kentucky. After military service he completed his bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees and worked as a clinical social worker for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
