Vietnam Unit Study

January 7, 2019 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

There’s so much more to the history and culture than what the news shows us.

I want my children to understand Asian history in our chronological studies of world history. I don’t want their education based on American stereotypes.

Our {evangelical and expensive} history curriculum was a little disappointing after WWII, so I had to research and find my own material to teach my kids about history that happened in my parents’ lifetime.

Vietnam Unit Study

I want to learn real history along with my kids, not just an American or white perspective.

There’s so much more to Vietnam culture and history than the conflict that the United States participated in during the 1960s and early 1970s.

Vietnam War Veterans Day: March 29 is a fitting choice for a day honoring Vietnam veterans. It was chosen to be observed in perpetuity as March 29, 1973, was the day United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam.  In addition, on and around this same day Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war.

Who knows when dinner will be?I love watching my son play baseball, despite the obnoxious parents loudly cussing at the umpires, abusive coach/parents screaming at their own kids, and boys who play 4 sports and don't really want to be here.This field complex has about a dozen domestic beers on tap and more drinks in cans and it cost $8 for me to enter.
