Every path in the deck is backed by real records. StoryPoint is where you see them.
The records in Vietnam were destroyed. USAID no longer exists. What survived lives in scattered repositories, libraries, and private collections. The majority of the archive lives in your homes, in the evidence of your own lives. The remaining records from Friends For All Children may help us piece it together.

Three ways in
These are not separate documents. They are three angles on the same history. Each one answers a different question about where you came from and why.

The Living Thread Contribution
What's your story?
What this is
The archive holds what happened in 1975. You hold what happened after. The Living Thread is a contribution form that collects your story, your words, your answers to the questions the original records could never carry. It is not a survey. It is not a database. It is the second half of a record that has been incomplete for fifty years.
Why it matters
No researcher has both ends of the same record. The departure records exist. The arrival records exist. What has never existed is the living record: who you became, what your body carried, what your search found or did not find, what you want the next generation to know. Every contribution expands what the archive can say. Every voice makes the history more true.
How your past becomes our shared history
The archive already knows you were born in a specific province, in a specific year, during a specific conflict. It knows what nursery you passed through, what date you departed, what flight you were on. When you add your living experience to that record, something new becomes possible: the facts of 1975 and the truth of 2026, joined. Your individual story is not just yours. It is evidence. It is data. It is the missing half of a history that belongs to all of us.
You share only what you choose. Every domain has its own consent level. You can contribute to the archive without your name being attached.
