Profiles in Courage: Specialized Foreign Service Officer Shares Memories of Californians who Served in Vietnam
About this Event

Please join us for a special speaker series presentation by Frank Scotton, who worked behind the scenes in the jungles of Vietnam for the U.S. Information Service.

Scotton was assigned to Vietnam in 1962 as a specialized foreign service officer. He worked cooperatively with the CIA in 1964 and was on loan to the 5th Special Forces Group from 1964 to 1966. His job was to travel to places in Vietnam where others seldom went to verify, gather and disseminate information for the U.S. government. Along his journey, he met individuals from the highest ranks in government to the poorest hamlets in the country. In this presentation, he will share the stories of some brave Californians with whom he served. After the war, Scotton went on to serve in Malaysia, Burma, Thailand, Turkey, China and Fort Bragg. He has written a book about his experiences titled, “Uphill Battle: Reflections on Viet Nam Counterinsurgency.”
