Subject: Slow Boat to Vietnam

Dear Mr.Scott,

I am a 16 year old student in high school who is learning about the Vietnam War. I am reading a book in English class called The Things They Carried by Tim O�Brien. I read your story it is showed me of what you guys had to do in Vietnam. I think it must have been a tough 21 day trip. I know it would have been scary for me. All I would have been thinking about was the war. Then when you get there you don�t know if you would be one of the ones who died, or one of your friends. It must hard to be in a tropical place and not be able to relax. Instead you would be fighting a war against people you don�t know. I would have been wanting the weapons too, because I would of wanted to end this war. I appreciate what you did in Vietnam.
