Date and time
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, November 18, 2021
Description

This is the story of the inner journey back to Vietnam for a group of Marines who fought a desperate battle on Hill 50 in 1966. For many Americans, Vietnam is a war. But by returning to that place where they fought, and some of their fellow Marines died, these men discover a vibrant place and lovely people.

 

 Takeaways:

  • Understand that attitudes about places and people can change over time, but not without engagement.
  • Understand that different generations will naturally think about places and people differently based upon what they have been taught by the education system, news, history, and popular culture.
  • Understand that engagement leads to more than understanding of the other; it can also lead to self-healing, self-understanding, and a reconfiguration of one’s role in history.
