"The interview went great! I learned a ton of information on Vietnam and  how the war was. He was always big on telling us how everyone on your side was considered your brother. ‘No matter who it was’, he said. He told us that he hated the part were the VC would pay children to go bring soldiers flowers but in the process they would be given grenades to throw or have bombs on them and blow themselves up and American soldiers would die....
    ...They said if they had to to go back they would!
    ...They got a few packages from their families but they didn't send much food because it would be hard from going in the mail for so long. They got Marlboros and maybe some homemade cookies. They said people loved mothers homemade cookies...."  ~ R. Liberty

    "...A typical day in war was staying alive. His biggest fear in the war was being shot. His first thought waking up was ‘Is today going to be my last?’  That must have been a horrible feeling. I couldn't imagine waking up everyday knowing it might be my last day to live. He still doesn't like when helicopters fly over today....
    I liked how he showed us pictures during that time. Some parts of the interview was really depressing. He was good at keeping a sense of humor and still be talking about the war at the same time. I really enjoyed hearing his experience in the war.  After the interview I understand the war a lot better...."

    "Mr. Hitchcock enlisted in the Navy at the old age of 17.  He wanted to serve his country so he volunteered....He felt sorrow and respect for the Vietnamese that had to go through the hardship.  But, then again, he told us it was a 'me or him' kind of situation....
    "Mr. Shaw was around the age of 20 when he enlisted in the Army.  He mostly worked on the ground watching his men's backs.  He received a Purple Heart when he was hit with shrapnel in his palm....."  ~ E. Murphy
