Return to one of the most divisive periods in the last century of American history, revisiting the multigenerational impact of the Vietnam War through firsthand accounts.

Barry J. Veden spent three years serving in the United States Army, later spending the majority of his career working for a Fortune 500 energy company. Over the course of his life, he has cultivated a strong passion for veteran advocacy, serving in a local chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge where he interviewed 30 World War II veterans. In 2004, this work culminated in his book, My Heroes, which chronicled his interviews with World War II veterans.

Now interested in comparing the experiences of World War II veterans and Vietnam War veterans, Veden has compiled a second volume of interviews focused on veterans of the Vietnam War. Southeast Asian conflict. It also focuses on what veterans experienced as they returned home-how they were treated, and the discrepancy between the world they entered and the one they left behind.


We Were There is a book made especially for Vietnam War veterans and their loved ones, and for anyone old enough to remember how the Vietnam War affected daily life in the United States. It is also a poignant read for students of a pivotal season in American history. Honoring the lives and legacies of a generation of American heroes, We Were There offers readers a personal connection to the costs of war.
