WILTON: This is an exceptional essay, as always. I felt compelled to share it with several family and friends. The younger generation needs to know the real history and I doubt they get it in school. But senior citizens who got all their information from the media need to read it too. Thanks.
All: On a related note, I have a neighbor who served in the South Vietnam Air Force and escaped as the South collapsed. He wrote a very informative memoir titled "You Must Live." It's a fast read although the English is a little choppy in places (not his first language). I recommend it to anyone interested in another perspective. Unlike some of Giap's later statements, Phan is a regular Joe with no political agenda. http://www.amazon.com/You-Must-Live-Tuan-Phan/dp/0988304600 > -----Original Message----- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of WILTON > Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 3:36 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: [MBZ] OT - The Wall > > On this day of remembrance, the following is submitted to help us more > clearly remember. > > THE WALL > By Wilton Strickland, Lt Col, USAF (Ret) > > The tragedy of the Vietnam War is exceeded by only slavery and the Civil > War ... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
