Launched in 2005, VietnamGear.com is a website dedicated to preserving the history
of the Vietnam War. The site contains an extensive selection of photos, numerous

official documents. These include, but are not limited to, The Pentagon Papers,
Foreign Relations of the United States, National Security Action Memorandums, United
States Army Material Command reports and Military Specifications.
