## Caption

The Post-Gazette reached out to a local nonprofit, the Veterans Breakfast Club, to connect with Vietnam War veterans and conducted in-depth interviews with a dozen vets over a three-month period.

From a Hill District foster child who ended up as a Marine “tunnel rat” to a third-generation steelworker who got shot in the spine, these men and women have never forgotten Vietnam, but many of them have rarely discussed it. They opened a window into their experiences as the end of the war reached its 50th anniversary.
