Historical Event
Prompt:What historical event had a big impact on your life?
The Vietnam War. My father went to Vietnam three times and we were never close after that. He changed. The last 20 years we were in a better place and I am glad. I lost him on Veterans Day 2 years ago. Dad would come home and he got transferred and we moved to another state. I would make new friends and he went back to Vietnam 2 years later. I hated going to another school but Indiana is where Mom and I stayed with her parents when Dad went to Vietnam. Dad was hard to reach. That war affected me. After Dad died, I listened to Vietnam Protest songs. I hated what Vietnam did to us. Dad went to Church. I blame Vietnam for us not being close but we found peace with each other and I loved him. Vietnam War affected my life and my father's. We do go on. I listen to Vietnam Protest songs and wear peace sign necklaces sometimes. I guess this is my way of having closure with my father and how Vietnam changed our lives. I loved tge 60s and 70s anyway. I was a hippie at one time. I treasure good memories and remember Dad when I was a little girl before Vietnam. I treasure those times. |
