Dear Vet, Not sure why I picked this bulletin board but here goes. I am a 47 year old high school teacher who missed the war ,barely, because of age. Lived it as much as I had to via the newspaper and tv. Had a chance to make a small difference back in 1990 when I spearheaded a high school scholarship and war memorial for our lone small town Vietnam casualty. I am now involved in a large protestant church who recognizes that a long overdue thank you is due. We wish to write a play entitled, "Not Forgotten". The three of us who are writing this do not have the first hand knowledge of what you experienced and we want to be accurate and sensitive. We also want the perspective from the soldier who went to war as a man or woman of faith as well as you soldiers who profess(ed) no religious leaning. We really don't want this to be some milk-toast-come-to-Jesus play, though for us we realize that power,so we really need some honest input. Maybe some hard questions if your up to it:
Some of the hardest parts to deal with there, hardest thing to deal with once home , fond memories,things or people that made a difference, most vivid memory. Really, we want what YOU think we need to hear. Honest, heartfelt info is greatly appreciated. Would you tell us in your own way? (please don't worry about offending us we really want your honest take.) And by the way, in case it hasn't been said to you enough, Thank you for all you have done .Johnson.m@monet.k12.ca.us
