Following his discharge and graduate school, Bradley moved to Madison and helped establish Vets House, a storefront, community-based service center for Vietnam era veterans in 1974. He has written extensively about his Vietnam and post-Vietnam experiences. Currently, he is collaborating on “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” a book about music and Vietnam, with UW-Madison professor Craig Werner.
