Jan Scrugg: who inspired the making of the wall. served in Vietnam (in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade) from 1969-1970 as a infantry corporal. He wanted the memorial to acknowledge and recognize the service and sacrifice of all who served in Vietnam. In March 1979, he saw The Deer Hunter, which reminded him "of the people he'd seen suffer and die in Vietnam". That night he decided to build a memorial with the names of everyone killed in the Vietnam War.
He gained this by being the first American combatant to make it to the top of the castle walls and by recovering his unit’s colors for the injured James Longstreet. By the end of the Mexican-American War, he was reassigned to the 9th Infantry, and by 1849 he was promoted to first lieutenant. This U.S. victory was the only triumph that Pickett would ever know. The assault that Pickett is best known for is Pickett’s Charge. This battle occurred on July 3, 1863, and it only lasted forty-five minutes.
Aaron Ludwig Witschonke October 26, 2009 Service Learning Project Operation Care Package Issue: I identified that there are many students whose parents are in the Military. Many of the students have brothers, sisters, and/or parents that have gone off to fight the war. This is a very common theme going on throughout all of the schools since the war has been going on for so long now.

I believe that the troops and the students will both benefit from this Service Learning Project.

Many were killed, many loved ones had died and many were mentally moved. The Flag Raising at Iwo Jima taken by Joe Rosenthal helped those people who lost and helped Americans get through this war. Memorial based on this picture was made and it was put into more museums than one could count. It was not only a picture to show the real war, but it served as a propaganda to the USA. Pictures can win awards not wars, but that is exactly what this picture did for the U.S in 1945.
Hayes, America's nineteenth President, began to heal the nation after the ravages of the Civil War. He was well suited to the task, having earned a steadfast reputation for integrity throughout his career as a soldier and a statesman. Upstanding, moral, and honest, Hayes was elected after the most lengthy, bitterly disputed, and corrupt presidential election in history. Hayes's father ran a successful farm and whiskey distillery in Ohio but died ten weeks before Rutherford was born. Raised by his single mother, Rud developed a very close relationship with his brilliant sister, Fanny Hayes, who encouraged him to achieve the prominent career denied to her because she was a woman.
He commanded his troops for a few months, until he died on December 21, 1945. George S. Patton was and still is remembered as a great American hero by his soldiers, our citizens, and our
On November 11, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (VVM) was completed, ten years after the end of the bitter and divisive Vietnam War that tore the United States apart. After ten years of shame, anger, and painful fights over US participation in the Vietnam War, the sacrifice and courage of the soldiers who fought was finally to be recognized and remembered. Analysis of the impact of memorial form upon memorialization rests upon close study of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (VVM). The purpose of the VVM is to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who fought and died during the Vietnam War. The memorial consists of a roughly 250-foot long series of polished black gabbros walls sunk into the surrounding countryside.
Now imagine this same man returning to the United States after his tour of duty. Shouldn’t we feel an obligation to do everything we can for this person who gave so much to protect our freedom? I have had the esteemed pleasure in meeting LT. Berry through personal relatives, he was born on July 19, 1917 in Atlanta,Georgia. He played in active role in World War II. He voluntarily entered the war to be an active participant in serving his country to honorably protect the citizens of the United States.

The peace talks were held between American officials and North Vietnamese officials.
