Vietnam remembered

I noticed something earlier today. Today is the 35th anniversary of the fact of the Vietnam War ending. It (that war) had a gigantic impact on our American culture. I remember hearing friends talking about Khe Sanh and some of the other battles. The powerful passion that is Vietnam permeates so many layers of our cultural infrastructure. Films like, 'The Deer Hunter' had so much meaning for me. Indeed, Christopher Walken and Robert DeNiro were overwhelming in that great movie.
