Campbell, John
They Were Our Ours: Gloucester County's (NJ) Loss in Vietnam [author's website]

Cammermeyer, Margarethe with Chris Fisher. 
Serving in Silence

This interesting memoir is about a woman who had a stellar career as a nurse in the military until it came out she was gay.  She then fought the attempts to have her discharged.  One chapter deals with her time in Vietnam. Made into a TV movie with Glenn Close and Judy Davis.  

Did you experience discrimination in the military because of sexual orientation?  Col. Cammermeyer is researching a new book; "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Carlock, Chuck
    Firebirds : The Best First Person Account of Helicopter Combat in Vietnam Ever Written
