The Vietnam War created two opposite reactions in America to the conflict, one strongly in favor of the conflict and one vehemently against. These differing reactions were reflected in common items, such as pins, posters and bumperstickers, but also more unusual artifacts, such as “We Support Our Men In Vietnam” stamps, handmade signs, ribbons and so much more. And being the Sixties, many of the materials were bright and colorful. Click on photographs to explore the archive.
