Lynn Clevenger

Lynn Clevenger received a Recreation and Sociology Degree, exactly the degree the Army Special Services was looking for in recruits: young, beautiful and college educated women familiar with social work. Vietnam intrigued Clevenger because it was warm and exotic, and gave Clevenger a ticket out of the States. In 1971, Clevenger left for Vietnam. Clevenger helped close a few service clubs, and watched as American forces began to withdraw. Clevenger always wondered what happened to her close Vietnamese friends; she tried to help them get out, but ultimately could not. Clevenger reflects on her daily duties, her opinions of the war today, and the carnage that the American government created and left behind.
