But after a close friend lost her father, a veteran who had served in the Vietnam War, photo editor Kendra Rennick found herself interested in the stories of the men who served there. She and her friend soon discovered old slides - film that was intended for projection onto a screen using a slide projector - that were taken by her father during the war. This sparked an idea in Rennick's mind, and soon the Vietnam Slide Project was born.
"It amazes me that these images, for the most part, remain untouched in basements or attics collecting dust," Rennick told Business Insider. "Many of these images are quite visually striking. These images speak to both my generation and older generations who lived through this time in history."
