Vietnam Veterans

After reading and discussing "Stop the Sun" by Gary Paulson, students heard
from Vietnam Veterans. We are honored to have Mr. Soares return to Oliver to share his experiences with this year's eight graders and we graciously welcome Mr. T. They are awesome storytellers, who give vivid and heartfelt accounts of their experiences in the Vietnam War. The lessons of the Vietnam War are important and relevant; especially as we are currently engaged in wars today. Students will consider and discuss what it would be like to walk in the shoes of a Vietnam Veteran or a soldier in a war? Students will also discuss and/or share their most memorable experience from today's presentation.
