Linda Garcia oral history recording

An audio recording of an oral history of Linda Garcia on the Vietnam War. During the recording of the interview, Ms. Garcia recollected her time as a high school student in Hillsboro at the start of the Vietnam War. Many people she knew were drafted in the war and it was well-known that one could avoid the draft through attending college or starting a family. Out of those she knew were attempting to avoid the draft she explains that she had not met any that fled to Canada. Also during this time in the community the draft resulted in countless women working jobs men normally had.
