I think this site is pretty cool. I found lots of interesting facts. Also, this site helped me get an A on the report I did on the Vietnam War. So I just wanted to thank everyone that made this site possible. So thanks everyone.

As a combat vet who has borne the brunt of our nations actions in Vietnam, bearing freedoms sword, and felt the embarrassment and scorn heaped upon the warriors from that conflict, I salute you for helping to tell the stories of so long ago, that we will never forget. For it is a fact that history does repeat itself, so it is important to learn what the warriors learned, for indeed, it is warriors who have seen first hand the evil and devastation of hatred, who know the values of peace, compassion and harmony among men. A Vietnamese legend says, ?All poets are full of silver threads that rise inside them as the moon grows large." So, when I write, it is because these silver threads are words, that are poking at me, and I must let them out. I invite those who pass here to visit my "Vietnam Picture Tour, from the lens and poet?s pen of a combat infantryman, from one who's walked the walk, and can talk the talk...Take a walk in "the park" with the 1st Air Cavalry on combat patrol, that in reality will give you the sweet and sour taste of "the Nam" on your tongue, leave the pungent smell of "the Nam" acrid in your nostrils, and embed textures of "the Nam" in your brain as though you walked beside me in combat.

This website shows alot of what was in the VN War. It show great pixs and historic events and many detail. Also the music goes along with the feeling that everyone could share about the VN War.

Jason Stewart from Hattiesburg wrote on March 24, 2021 at 9:59 pm

Hello,
I just wanted to tell you guys that I think what you are doing is great. I am currently a history graduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi. Every summer, my University takes a study abroad course to Vietnam to study the war and Vietnamese culture. I recently returned from my first trip to the country and I completely fell in love with it. Well anyway, I just wanted to say I think what you are doing is amazing, and I wanted to say thank you for helping all those wonderful people there. Keep up the good work!

I am Vietnamese American, 33 years-old. I was born in Da Nang, but escaped during the fall of Saigon in 1975. I grew up in America, and became American in every individual-minded way, except that a part of me has found reconciliation with my cultural and historical past very difficult. As an artist, I have endeavored to uncover the truths of the Vietnam War in my work for the hopes of better understanding how I came here, as a product of this great human tragedy. I am saddened by our current attitudes in foreign policy for I do not see any growth from Vietnam. I do not feel the true lessons have been learned. I do not even think they are being addressed. Unfortunately, we do not value history enough in America, for we doom ourselves to repeat the "turbid ebb and flow of human misery." As an American, I wonder how much more pain would Manifest Destiny continue to inflict on every new generation. I am most appreciative of your site. I hope to be able to one day return to the land where my father lies, and where my mother's heart still grieves.

Lately I've been obsess with learning about the war in Vietnam. The war in Vietnam has changed the many social stigmas and the mindsets of the free world. I came to Canada when I was 8 years old. My parents hated the communists and often mocked them. As I learn with all the readings available, I have concluded that communist was a catylast for the anti-cononial-revolutionary movements in Vietnam. As much as I hate communism ideology, anyone with dignity will rather be a comie in that circumstance than be subjected of foreign rulers! Anyways back to the subject, this site was very informative, and has a balanced perspectives from both sides. Many site on the net only gives bias informations such that of the Holywood's versions of the war in Vietnam.
It is ironic that I know very little about the country that I was born in and that many Americans knows much more. This web site have provided with me wonderful insights. Hopefully 1 day i'll go back.
Keep up the good work!
