Description: Taken in 1971 by U.S. Army medic Charles Tweel, this photograph shows a U.S. firebase in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. These settlements were referred to as ghettos due to poor living conditions and the surrounding area defoliated by Agent Orange, a military-grade herbicide. This photograph is part of the Charles Tweel Collection (AV 324) at the Ohio History Connection. Charles Tweel grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and attended The Ohio State University. After graduation in 1968, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a non-combatant, first training as a medic at Fort Sam Huston, followed by nine months of additional training at Valley Forge General Hospital in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He finished his training as a Specialist 3 and 91C, MOS, and went on to serve in Bamberg, Germany, with combat engineers for one year. In January 1971, Tweel served in Vietnam with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion (Air Mobile), 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, based out of Camp Evans near Phu Bai, north of Hue, until December of that year. Tweel spent most of his service on various firebases as the medic in charge, and occasionally shared firebases with South Vietnamese soldiers. He also visited MedCAP stations (Medical Civic Action Programs) where he treated civilians. Tweel received the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement, and was promoted to Specialist 5 in 1971. After discharge from the Army, he went to medical school and was in private practice as a family practitioner from 1979-2016, and now works part-time in inner city medical clinics in Columbus, Ohio, and Charleston, South Carolina.

Description: This photograph shows Rodger Cuccio with a propaganda bomblet that dropped leaflets on Iraqi soldiers urging them to surrender during the first Persian Gulf War in 1991. The bomblet is now on display at the United States Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Rodger Cuccio was a member of the 356th Tactical Airlift Squadron stationed at Rickenbacker Air Force Base near Columbus. His unit, along with four others, was attached to the 907th Tactical Airlift Group, U.S. Airforce Reserve. This squadron, made up of over 250 servicemen and women, served in the Gulf War from January to June of 1991. While in Kuwait, Cuccio’s unit flew over 2,000 sorties, hauled over 4,400 tons of cargo and moved more than 13,000 people during Operation Desert Storm. Additional missions of the 907th squadron included resupplying Kuwait City after its liberation, redeployment of troops from Iraq to Saudi Arabia following the signing of the United Nations peace treaty, and evacuation of Shiite Muslims from southern Iraq.

Description: This is the cornerstone of the Crawford County Courthouse. The structure was built in 1854, by architect O.S. Kinney and contractor A.E. Hanckock, but extensive renovations between 1906 and 1908 by architect Harlan Jones significantly updated the building. Prior to this, in 1893, a rear addition designed by J.L. Assenheimer was added. The original brick facade was covered with stone, and an impressive stained glass dome was installed above the courtroom. To the left of the courthouse entrance, there is a statue honoring Colonel William Crawford, a Revolutionary War hero and namesake of the county. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph is a draft of a map for New Philadelphia (1938), which was created for potential use in The Ohio Guide, and is covered with pencil marks, arrows and notes. A the top right corner is a North arrow, beneath which says "Ohio Guide, Federal Writers' Project 1938". The map is approximately centered on the Tuscarawas County Courthouse on the Corner of High Avenue and Broadway Street. It depicts the Tuscarawas River and Tuscora Park, as well as the C & P Railroad tracks, the abandoned Ohio Canal, and the East Avenue and Fair Street Cemeteries. From 1935 to 1942, the Works Progress Administration (WPA), through its Federal Writers' Project created The American Guide Series, which included forty-eight state guides, as well as supplemental guides for large cities, etc. The state guides are divided into three sections. In the first section are general essays about the state on things such as agriculture, culture, history, industry, religion, etc. The second section contains an overview of the various cities and towns around the state, as well as enumerating various points of interest. The last section is dedicated to various tours around the state. The tourist is taken from city to city, with turn by turn directions, and descriptions of what can be seen along the way. While much of the country has grown and changed since the guides were written, it is surprising how much remains, and sometimes more surprising what has been lost. View on Ohio Memory.
