Research into the nine Milledgeville, Georgia veterans who died in the Vietnam War was undertaken during the spring 2021 semester by students in a Georgia College Communication Department course titled The Vietnam War in the Media. The 25 students in the class, divided into nine groups, with each group researching one of the nine servicemen. With the assistance of Georgia College Special Collections and Ina Dillard Russell Library faculty and staff, the student research was compiled in a digital exhibit highlighting the stories of each veteran our community lost during the Vietnam War. The exhibit also provides contextual information on the war and military mortuary practices to illuminate the official desire to honor those who have given their lives for their country.
