Records generated and collected by the United States Servicemen's Fund (USSF), an anti-Vietnam War organization created to raise funds to benefit Vietnam War servicemen. In late 1971, USSF supported 51 underground GI newspapers and 32 coffeehouses, bookstores and counseling centers; and sponsored performances of the FTA (Free Theater Associates) Show in the United States and abroad. Administration records consist of correspondence and internal memoranda that describe USSF's projects and administrative workings. Records of Support Our Soldiers (SOS), a San Francisco group closely allied with USSF are also included. Project records describe the work of some organizations that received USSF support. The work of other antiwar groups and causes are described in USSF reference materials. General newspaper clippings and foreign press accounts of four antiwar activists' trip to North Vietnam to escort home three U.S. prisoners of war are also included. The activists were members of the Committee of Liaison with Families of Servicemen Detained in Vietnam. English
