For your final readings of Times of Change, I would like you to set aside some time on Monday (Memorial Day) to read the choices above. Once you are done, I would like for you to post in your blog a note to the men and women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. After what you have learned over the past few days, and what you saw when we went to D.C., what would you want to say to them?
Dear Vietnam Veterans,
It must have been very hard to gove your lives to such an unrewarding cause. You were told fighting was your duty, but in the end it wasn't clear what you were fighting for. I think that the worst part about your experience besides fighting would be that everyone thought you were either stupid for going to Vietnam when you were doing you "duty" or that people thought you deserved your injuries. I would like to say thank you for giving your lives even though the war didn't accomplish anything.
