Doug Bradley is assistant director of marketing and communications for UW-Madison's Office of Corporate Relations. He is also a Vietnam veteran. Drafted into the U. S. Army in March of 1970, Bradley served until November 1971 as an information specialist (journalist) at U. S. Army Republic of Vietnam HQ in Long Binh, South Vietnam. Upon his return, Bradley established Vets House, a storefront, community-based service center for Vietnam-era veterans in 1974. Bradley has written extensively about his Vietnam, and post-Vietnam, experiences, including poetry and prose in several editions of The Deadly Writers Patrol magazine. He and UW-Madison professor Craig Werner are collaborating on a book about music and Vietnam and occasionally teach a course at UW-Madison entitled "The U. S. in Vietnam: Music, Mayhem and Media."
