In 1965 most citizens of Philadelphia thought very little about issues in Southeast Asia. When the military conflict that had existed there for decades finally escalated into a full-scale war its citizens would be thrown into the hardship, confusion, and struggle that was the Vietnam War. Young men from across the city who grew up in different neighborhoods and came from different backgrounds would soon be fighting across South Vietnam to stop the spread of communism. Their experiences of survival and horror in the midst of combat would change them in a way that could never be undone."Nothing for Ourselves" documents the impact the Vietnam War had on the greater Philadelphia area.
