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.
