The collection includes a sixteen-page memoir in which Stacy relates her experiences during the Persian Gulf War, twenty photographs related to the war, an oral history interview on two audio tapes and a transcription of the audio tapes, and correspondence.
The sixteen-page memoir is based on writings in a journal that Stacy kept while stationed in the Persian Gulf. Her memoir was a research paper that she wrote to fill a requirement for her English 110 class at UWEC.
The twenty 3 × 5 color photographs are various scenes from Fort McCoy, Wisconsin and Saudi Arabia in which soldiers are seen participating in activities such as volleyball and softball. Also captured are images of interior facilities and exterior views. An inventory list accompanies the photographs.
Also included in the collection are three letters from Stacy to her parents, dated January 16, 1991 to March 16, 1991.
An oral history, dated September 17, 1992, is on two audiocassette tapes, each approximately 1 1/2 hours in length. University Archivist Larry Lynch interviews Stacy and clarifies, among other things, Stacy's involvement in the National Guard and in the Persian Gulf War.
