Scope and Content
The Vincent Simonelli Collection consists of clippings, correspondence, military papers, printed matter, photographs and artifacts. The bulk of the collection consists of letters written by the veteran, mostly to his brother and sister-in-law, William and Cathy Simonelli. They cover the period of the veteran's training in the United States, his deployment to Vietnam, and stateside duty. The veteran is very articulate in his descriptions of his missions in Vietnam. The letters also show the veteran's love of sports, as he follows the hockey and baseball seasons.
