Don Harris
"I interviewed Mr. Harris and he is a
veteran from the Vietnam and Korean Wars. He grew up on a farm and
wanted to fly in the Air Force at the ago of four. When he got older he
enlisted for the Air Force, and put in an application for pilot
training. Mr. Harris was in the Air Force for twenty two years.... "

"...When I heard him speak I know and
understand move about the Korean and the Vietnam war. I was proud of
what he did for the country and for himself to achieve the goal that he
had set, especially that he was part of the war and he saved our
country with other people...." ~ K. Dale
"...'The only
good thing about war is that people are devoted enough to die for what
they believe in.' When he said that, it just stuck in my
brain. I think it should be a famous quote. I also remember
when I asked, 'How do you feel about the war in Iraq today, and how do
you feel about this country?' A man who fought for his country
saying he's ashamed of what its become, it must have taken a lot of
courage to say it, and that I respect him for...." ~ N. Michaud
"...From this interview it makes me think
the world of all of those crazy people out there doing what they love
to do for our country and to appreciate it more and to appreciate the
people who are doing it and are brave enough to do it. I also learned
that the training is hard and you are not treated very good. I really
liked the interview and Mr. Harris. I enjoyed talking to him. It was
well worth the hour that we spent with him and talked. He has a really
good story and I think that the interview went well." ~ K.
Pelletier
"... One of his
friends was a man named Jerry. Jerry flew planes as well as Mr. Harris.
They were friends for a while. Mr. Harris said that his main goal in
war was to hit the target and stay alive. He almost got hit with
a bomb and he said it hit the runway where they were taking off....
...Mr. Harris commented on the food in Vietnam as
being very good. That leads me to believe that he wasn't
fussy.
He said that he would do it again if he had
to. He would fight for our country because he believes we need
people to fight for our rights and our freedom. He thinks we need more
brave men and women to serve for our country and to protect our great
land. He also thinks we need to win the war in Iraq today.
... I learned that it was hard to deal with because
of everything that was happening in Vietnam. Mr. Harris taught me
that sometimes you have to face your fears and stand up for what you
believe in. I felt a lot better like I just visited Vietnam while
the war was going on. It was absolutely valuable to me I learned
a lot of things that I didn't know before." ~ J. Vickers
