Knowing your name, I was able to read your description of the dreadful event in an online forum. It must haunt you to this day.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600466853173516354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301952642398683604.post-22294375222545951482015-06-07T22:15:46.095-04:002015-06-07T22:15:46.095-04:00That's me 2nd from left carrying that dead Vie...That's me 2nd from left carrying that dead Vietnamese girlJim Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892604358874055249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301952642398683604.post-70341154347885037882013-10-17T08:57:23.295-04:002013-10-17T08:57:23.295-04:00PS Link to the post is http://jeffsharletandvietn...PS Link to the post is http://jeffsharletandvietnamgi.blogspot.com/2013/05/requiem-in-saigon.htmlKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600466853173516354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301952642398683604.post-1983237985438756362013-10-16T05:13:45.505-04:002013-10-16T05:13:45.505-04:00Hi Heather:
Thanks for your comment to which Bob...Hi Heather: <br /><br />Thanks for your comment to which Bob Sharlet replied by email a few days ago. Check your Inbox for the relevant information you will want. We're very glad to be of help.<br /><br />I was in Vietnam and Cambodia last spring and cannot begin to explain how much it meant to see it all first hand. You might get an idea reading the post I did on seeing the War Remnants Museum. <br /><br />I've been to your Web site and the SMU page. You are to be admired for your accomplishments! Many congratulations on the Fulbright!

I'd love to talk with you! Would you be open to a conversation about Jeff and his experiences in the city? I actually wrote a chapter about the GI antiwar movement in my book, "Beyond Combat: Women and Gender in the Vietnam War Era."
