Description

Through this podcast we introduce the many not so fun facts about the Vietnam war and how it affected the lives of people both on the home front and in the war itself. One of our podcast members interviewed their grandfather who was a Vietnam war veteran to see his perspective on the war itself and many of the different aspects of war that he went through. This podcast introduces topics that are beneficial to talk about today since our society's understanding of war is limited and starting to diminish as time goes by.
