Five decades after the end of the U.S.-led war in Vietnam, Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans are reflecting on the life-changing ordeal that was at time made more complicated by their race. Service members in the Army, the Marine Corps and other units faced are sharing stories about the racism they faced while growing up and again while serving their country. They were often reminded that they resembled opposing forces and were on the receiving end of ethnic slurs. Others, however, say they ultimately found camaraderie with their brothers-in-arms and are still proud of their service. Now, all these years later, many of these veterans want their voices to be heard.
