While in Rochester, Hussey was actively involved with the Vietnam Veterans of America; Genesee Valley Chapter #20. He became friends with the men and women who were fighting in Vietnam during the 1960s and early 1970s. He pursued his Master of Fine Arts thesis on the subject of understanding veterans in the Vietnam War Era. Entitled "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You," the thesis detailed his exhibition of photographs and writings relating directly to a group of Vietnam War Veterans from the Rochester, New York, area. Thirty-six black and white photographs and thirty-six personal writings were displayed during Hussey's gallery exhibit at The Center at High Falls, Rochester Room Gallery from November 4–28, 1994.
