On the opening weekend of the Newseum’s new exhibit, “Reporting Vietnam,” Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund founder and president Jan Scruggs and former UPI photographer Steve Northup share their memories of the Vietnam War.
Scruggs, a wounded and decorated veteran of the war, conceived the idea of building the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., as a tribute to all who served during one of the longest wars in U.S. history.
Northup covered the Vietnam War for United Press International in 1965 and 1966. His photo of UPI correspondent Martin Stuart-Fox and Time-Life photographer Tim Page seeking shelter during a 1966 firefight in South Vietnam is the signature image for the Newseum’s Vietnam exhibit. The exhibit also includes the camera Northup used to capture the photo.
“Reporting Vietnam” marks the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, America’s first televised war, and explores the dramatic stories of how journalists brought news about the war to a divided nation.
The moderator was Patty Rhule (Newseum director of exhibits).

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
