description

Summary

U.S. Army 1st Sgt. John Therrien (left), retired and Lt. Col. Jim Buckner, who served together in Vietnam, pose during the third reunion of Vietnam veterans from Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, April 16, 2013. During an operation in the Bong Son area, March 13, 1967, Buckner, then a captain and company commander, was shot by a sniper in the right temple. Therrien, then a specialist and Buckner's radio telephone operator, performed triage on Buckner's wound and called in a medevac, saving his life. After Buckner was flown out of the combat zone, Therrien took command of the company for two hours until a new commander could be flown in. The two battle buddies hadn't seen each other in 46 years.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
