Editor's Notes

  1. Sources: http://usastruck.com and http://herolettersvietnam.blogspot.com These two blog sources show first-hand accounts of the Vietnam War through verified veteran letters and also memories from men and women who served in the war. These blogs are great sources of information because textbooks would not be able to give you these first hand accounts that are updated almost daily. Reading online about actual everyday events is beneficial because you get a more person look at the war.

They stimulating colors and timeline will make it easier for the students to recall because it strays from the traditional note taking.
