Through his own personal involvement with America’s Veterans Foundation, San Antonio resident Mr. Michael Lynd Sr., who served as an Infantry Officer in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969 and participated in Operation Fayette Canyon in Quang Nam Province as part of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division had his own vision. Inspired also by the efforts of his friends at Southwest Florida Military Museum & Library (SFMML) located in Cape Coral, Florida, Mr. Lynd recognized the importance of acknowledging and honoring those brave Army soldiers, the Grunts, who fought on the front line of the Vietnam War. At that moment, Mr. Lynd committed to creating the Vietnam Army Grunt Museum – the Army Grunts Story. We encourage soldiers of the Vietnam War and their families to contribute cherished items and testimonials from their experiences during their time in combat, which they may be housed and displayed permanently to benefit the thousands of future visitors and perpetually honor those brave soldiers. The museum charges no admission and is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. We would not be able to operate without generous individual donors, sponsorships, and endowments that will ensure our vitality for future generations.
