My dearest Mother‚ I am missing you dearly and I hope everything is well. I am getting very home sick‚ life here is different than over there. I can hear sounds of the battlefield and it’s very frightening. We also get very little sleep and it is so cold here. The food is so plain; we rarely eat meat. We eat mostly beans‚ potatoes and soup. I’m getting so tired of it. Many of the things I see are very disturbing but it feels good to help these men. Some of them have talked to me about their families

only the start of many more to come. WWI‚ set itself apart from other wars mostly in the way of trench warfare‚ and the use of poisonous gas. The trenches in which the soldiers were in was so grotesque‚ and filled with diseases that it was almost a death sentence to stay in them. In this war‚ a simple cut or scrape could be as fatal as getting shot‚ because of all the diseases going around in the trenches from the bacteria in the trenches. The conditions in which Jean Dartemont and the millions of

Letters Home From Vietnam Review The powerful emotions triggered through watching this film can be acknowledged without question. What I found the most interesting was the use of real news footage from that time period that aired on major news networks‚ swaying people’s opinions about our justification for being in Vietnam. Being able to view that gave me a 1st hand look into soldiers’ opinions of the war as well as protests and how they differed then. The actors reading the leaders with pure emotion

It is about 6 o’ clock in the morning‚ and we are in the rest trenches due to continuous firing from a rifle gun and a machine gun. It’s been going on for approximately four hours.

recall how excited I was going for the war. I still remember how I was reeking with curiosity to what’s to happen. But now I don’t know anymore. The trenches are very narrow‚ just room for me and Joe to push by one another. In front of each trench is a baricade made of sandbags‚ these are more or less bullet proof‚ but afford little protection from shell fire. We fill them up and they look after us. I know that sounds funny but it’s true.We don’t generally utilize sand‚ sometimes it is simply soil

Kristin Strickland History 370 Book Essay March 21‚ 2013 Letters from Vietnam I found that trying to find a book to read about the Vietnam War was rather difficult because there are so many of them out there.

Two weeks ago while sitting in the trenches someone started yelling GAS! GAS! In that instant I feared for my life. I grabbed a gas mask‚ hoping that I would get it on in time‚ so that I would live to see another day. There aren’t enough gas masks for everyone so I had to watch my friend suffocate from the gas. I can’t believe I am here and I wake up every morning wondering
