I am a high school student learning about the Vietnam War in English by reading the book called, The Things They Carried. I also learned about the war in my US History class. I really like this poem because it is about soldiers that didn’t fight in war but soldiers made out of bronze that encourage soldiers to do their best. The three men in bronze commemorate all the soldiers that fought in war and are going to fight. What I really like is that the poem really influences soldiers to do their best in war and fight with honor. Also, how the poem gave the three men in bronze human like characteristics even though they’re bronze statues. I also like how the poem is written from the bronze men’ perspective and how the author made them seem like real soldiers. It’s a really nice poem that is dedicated to all the other soldiers that fought in war.
