Farmer Nguyen by W.D. Ehrhart
Massacre at My Lai by Hugh Thompson
A Nun at Ninh Hoa by Jan Barry
What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese? Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?
- It was a huge impact on the Vietnamese because many innocent people were purposely killed by Americans. The war will furthur impact the Vietnamese if Americans continue to kill them, and their villages will be destroyed.
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?
- I thank you for putting your lives on the line to put an end to communism, however, you shouldn't have been over in Vietnam in the first place. Too many lives were lost for a dubious crusade.
