Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Immigration & Memory is a searchable collection of oral history interviews with immigrants in the greater Danbury area. Interviews are conducted by WCSU students for courses in history and the social sciences. Project financial support is provided by the Western Connecticut State University President's Initiatives Fund. The oral history database will enable students to analyze the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and consider the implications of immigration in the Danbury area.
The interviews were digitally recorded in Windows Media format. These files are then converted into mp3 format. Approximately 25 interviews were initially completed and the inventory currently lists around 50. Students interviewed subjects from all over the world, including Bulgaria, Ireland, India, Italy, and Puerto Rico. Digital files were then uploaded and described in WestCollections (a DSpace repository). In 2015 those materials were moved to WestD.
The collection provides primary source data on the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and the implications of immigration to the Danbury area.

The oral history database will enable students to analyze the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and consider the implications of immigration in the Danbury area.
The interviews were digitally recorded in Windows Media format. These files are then converted into mp3 format. Approximately 25 interviews were initially completed and the inventory currently lists around 50. Students interviewed subjects from all over the world, including Bulgaria, Ireland, India, Italy, and Puerto Rico. Digital files were then uploaded and described in WestCollections (a DSpace repository). In 2015 those materials were moved to WestD.
The collection provides primary source data on the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and the implications of immigration to the Danbury area.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Captain Jack Sikora was born in Norwich Connecticut, and grew up in New London. He came from a military family, although his mother was opposed to him going off to war. Sikora attended Danbury State Teachers College as a history major. He didn’t want to leave for war before finishing his degree, however his plan from the beginning was to serve. He clearly felt a sense of duty to his country and wanted to give something back. Because of this he spent a year in the Vista Program, working in impoverished communities in the South. He was stationed in Belvins Creek, North Carolina. Sikora then started graduate school at Appalachian State until he was commissioned by the Airforce. He then completed officer training school. At which time, he entered the war in Vietnam as an intelligence officer. Sikora was stationed at Otis Airforce Base as a signals control officer. He flew numerous reconnaissance missions over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. His responsibilities were to find out where the VC were and to report back to those on the ground what they found. Sikora expressed his regret of not joining the Marine Corps, in his mind this would have been more honorable. He says his perspective on the war has changed over time. Originally, he felt the involvement was valid. After returning home, and pursuing a career in academia, he was exposed to a different school of thinking; in turn his perspective changed. Sikora also shared his experiences with battling PTSD, and transitioning back to civilian life. He felt as though he was self medicating for many years. Eventually he was able to find help. He like many other Veterans kept quiet about his experiences overseas for many years. Eventually, he helped write the book Bat Cats. This experience gave Sikora and many other families’ closure about the war. Lastly, he reflects on the war involvement as a whole. At which time he said “I like to think that there are some people alive today, because of what we did.”

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
George Robinson was born in Manhattan New York, but grew up mainly in the Bronx. He attended college at Holy Cross. When the draft numbers came out, he enlisted into the Airforce. Robinson did not want to join the army, but still wanted to serve. Robinson entered Vietnam in May, 1970, and re-upped in 1971. He was stationed at Tan Son Nhut Airforce base. As an advisor his responsibilities were to teach English to South Vietnamese Officers who were in the process of becoming pilots. All air traffic controllers and pilots, use English. His job was teach the officers English, in order to take the pilots exam. Robinson elaborates on his rewarding experiences teaching these individuals. He recalls that one of the most common sayings among the South Vietnamese Officers regarding learning English was, “If you know two languages, you are worth two people.” In his view, he was helping them fight their war, so that American soldiers could go home. Part of the problem was many of the South Vietnamese did not want to fight the war. He says similar to the Civil War for America, the Vietnamese were supposed to fight against people “who looked, acted, and talked similarly.” Robinson gives his opinion on the American strategy in Vietnam, the domino theory, and what could have been done differently. He says that in the beginning America should have supported Ho Chi Men. Also, he expressed the problems that go along with having soldiers who were not in for the duration of the war. In many cases, you did your year and went home. While in World War II, you would be in for the duration of the war. Robinson discusses having jitters, and nightmares during his transition back into civilian life, not unlike many other veterans.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Edward Hagen is a Vietnam Veteran that served from 1969-1970. He is now currently an English professor here at Western Connecticut State University. Ed was in ROTC at Fordham University, and was brought into the war as an intelligence officer. He was assigned to the S-2 advisors office in Phong Dinh Province on October 29th 1969, where he went to work for the pacification effort in Can Tho City. He was a member of a team of about 150 army and civilian intelligence advisors. Ed discusses how “preposterous” the idea was of a 22 year old man advising people that were twice his age.
Generally speaking, although there really is no such thing when talking about war, his duties were to read and draft intelligence reports, go on scouting missions in the helicopter to spot the VC, and to advise the South Vietnamese, in their efforts against the VC. Ed also discusses the lack of a coherent strategy for the United States in terms of bringing about victory. He talks about why pacification isn’t a winning strategy. Ed elaborates on his experience of being in a helicopter that was shot down by the VC. He said they were flying too low and as a result they were shot down. The co-pilot was killed in this incident; remarkably, everyone else survived.
Ed explains why he believes the United States should have stayed out of Vietnam. He also gives his opinion on the “fighting godless communism” and the domino theory. Ed gives his thoughts on staying quiet about the war, and what compelled him to write his memoir.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Immigration & Memory is a searchable collection of oral history interviews with immigrants in the greater Danbury area. Interviews are conducted by WCSU students for courses in history and the social sciences. Project financial support is provided by the Western Connecticut State University President's Initiatives Fund. The oral history database will enable students to analyze the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and consider the implications of immigration in the Danbury area.
The interviews were digitally recorded in Windows Media format. These files are then converted into mp3 format. Approximately 25 interviews were initially completed and the inventory currently lists around 50. Students interviewed subjects from all over the world, including Bulgaria, Ireland, India, Italy, and Puerto Rico. Digital files were then uploaded and described in WestCollections (a DSpace repository). In 2015 those materials were moved to WestD.
The collection provides primary source data on the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and the implications of immigration to the Danbury area.

Vietnam 1970-1971
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
John Sheeran served in Vietnam from 1970-71 as a United States military advisor. With generations of his family serving in the United States military as well as growing up in a pro-military environment, Sheeran enrolled in the Virginia Military institute and entered active service in 1969 operating rifle ranges for Recruits while also being promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant before being shipped off to Vietnam in 1970.
Sheeran’s role as a U.S. military advisor was to help the local Vietnamese militias in a wide variety of ways from military actions such as coordinating ambushes and medavacs to humanitarian projects such as bridge building and village reconstruction. Sheeran as well as his five man advisory team rotated throughout South Vietnam going to places such as the Kien Hoa Province, Tan Phu Trung and Tuaduc. Sheeran’s experience in Vietnam differs from the common U.S. soldier, because he rarely saw any combat during his tour.
Once Sheeran finished his tour in Vietnam, he was never faced with any war opposition and never suffered the common after effects of war such as having nightmares or PTSD. But he uses his experiences to educate the post-Vietnam generations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Immigration & Memory is a searchable collection of oral history interviews with immigrants in the greater Danbury area. Interviews are conducted by WCSU students for courses in history and the social sciences. Project financial support is provided by the Western Connecticut State University President's Initiatives Fund. The oral history database will enable students to analyze the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and consider the implications of immigration in the Danbury area.
The interviews were digitally recorded in Windows Media format. These files are then converted into mp3 format. Approximately 25 interviews were initially completed and the inventory currently lists around 50. Students interviewed subjects from all over the world, including Bulgaria, Ireland, India, Italy, and Puerto Rico. Digital files were then uploaded and described in WestCollections (a DSpace repository). In 2015 those materials were moved to WestD.
The collection provides primary source data on the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and the implications of immigration to the Danbury area.

Students interviewed subjects from all over the world, including Bulgaria, Ireland, India, Italy, and Puerto Rico. Digital files were then uploaded and described in WestCollections (a DSpace repository). In 2015 those materials were moved to WestD.
The collection provides primary source data on the history of immigration, the nature of community formation and the implications of immigration to the Danbury area.

Vu, Billy
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Billy Vu tells the story of his family's decision to leave Communist Vietnam, live temporarily in a Hong Kong refugee camp, and finally to make a new life in the Danbury area. He describes the difficult conditions in the refugee camp and the birth of his younger sister there. The Vu family arrived in the United States with the help of church sponsorship and family members in the area. He had difficulties in school early on because of limited English proficiency, but went on to become completely fluent. He is now studying economics at Western Connecticut State University. He describes how he and his family adjusted to life and work here, and how the family managed well financially. He shares his views regarding perceptions and treatment of immigrants in the greater Danbury area.
