Many years after the Vietnam War, Col. Tran Minh Hao of the 66th Regiment, People's Army of Vietnam composed a poem to his former battlefield opponent, U.S. Army General Hal Moore. The Soldier's poem is now available digitally, along with more than one million other documents, at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center.
The poem is the one-millionth document digitized for easy online access and is one of the millions of items in the USAHEC Collection—reflecting the broad scope of military operations and strategic decision-making.
Thanks to the digitization project underway at AHEC, the full scope of Army history is becoming "a click away" from anywhere in the world. Search the collection to learn more: https://arena.usahec.org
The collection contains Army documents from the Revolutionary War, World Wars I and II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, Desert Storm, and the years of training, modernization, irregular war, disaster relief, medical advances, and peace pursuits.
Here’s a brief overview of documents now discoverable online – for Army decision-makers, course developers, researchers, educators, and students.
