Power Point Presentation on The History of Vietnam and the war there, Written in 2016


I was asked to give a presentation on the Vietnam War to 6th 7th graders school in a Cleveland Suburb in 2016, and I accepted the takes. I didn’t want to make it gory but the teacher said it would be OK to discuss what happened there. While creating a power point I kept her in the loop as a developed the presentation and it was approved by her.  With out looking it up I believe it was in April of 2016 and it was part of an over all program honoring veterans. The presentation was about an hour long and included the history of Vietnam, the war in Vietnam and the aftermath of leaving.

I brought to the school souvenirs, maps, and I dressed in a replicate uniform that I wore on patrol when I was there. The presentation went well and the kids asked decent questions. The presentation is appropriate for all ages and is reasonably accurate, which means that current descriptions of that conflict are not accurate.  The following picture was taken by a friend of mine, I’m the American on the right, team XO, the other American, on the left, with the captured AK-47 in the team commander.
