The American Soldier in Vietnam

====Throughout the year, we spent some time learning about and reflecting on the life, challenges, impact, and sacrifices of the men and women who served the United States in our various military conflict. While we do not have a great deal of time to spend on the soldiers in the Vietnam War, it is important to examine their experience to understand the conflict, their sacrifice, and the honor they deserve ... especially with Memorial Day coming on Monday. Please spend some time this evening examining some of the resources below, and come to class tomorow with thoughts, ideas, and questions about the soldiers that served in Vietnam. ====
