Debra,
This is a well-written and researched essay and I am so thankful that you chose this topic. I have always wanted to know more about it! Thanks for giving us such a broad look at the film. I completely agree that it should be included in the Time Capsule.

While researching it, did you find any aspects that particularly resonated with you? If so, did/do you know any Vietnam Veterans that have been impacted by the movie? Or, were there any particularly funny moments that resonated with you? (Please only answer one question. I didn't mean to give you several! ;-))

Thanks for the terrific essay!
Jill
