Memorial Day: remembering Vietnam

Remembering Vietnam, Barien P.

***

Of the wars and military actions the U.S. has engaged in, Vietnam stands out most in my mind.

According to an excellent article, History: Vietnam War, found at the City of Albuquerque site

2,709,918 Americans served in Viêt Nam. This number represents 9.7% of their generation.

The subtitle of the article and authors credited are

Viêt Nam War Narrative and Analysis – A New Mexican Perspective. Compiled and edited by Lou Hoffman with material reliance on "The U.S. Army in Vietnam," by Vincent H. Demma, Center of Military History, United States Army, and "On Strategy – A critical Analysis of the Vietnam War," by Col. Harry G. Summers, Jr.

A student at Brunswick High School in Glynn County, Georgia, included the image above in her/his junior project.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors those who served during the war.
