  • Possible Email Problems

    We have been informed that the Texas Tech University email servers (through which all email communication with the Vietnam Center & Archive and our staff pass through) have been experiencing problems with improperly blocking some email messages sent from outside the University system. When this occurs, senders are often not notified that their messages were blocked. TTU telecommunications staff are working on fixing the problem.

    If you send a message to one of our departmental or staff email addresses and do not receive a response within a few days, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone (806-742-9010) to ensure that we received your email message.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause.

  • Vietnam Center and Archive’s 20th Anniversary Ball

    The Vietnam Center and Archive invites you to join us as we celebrate a great milestone in our history. To celebrate our project’s 20th year, we will be hosting an anniversary ball on May 28, 2009 at 7:00 pm at the Frazier Alumni Pavilion. The evening will feature keynote speaker Mr. H. Ross Perot, Sr. In addition, our guests will enjoy dinner, lively music, a silent auction and a tribute to our founder, Dr. James Reckner.

    This event is an opportunity to raise funds which will allow us to continue our mission to preserve the history of the Vietnam War, help veterans and their families deal with their war experiences, and assist the US government in their search for the 1,750 men who are still missing from the war.
