Dear Members
I am a student in college and the former webmaster of AK-47.net. I am constructing my final project for English on Vietnam Veterans in comparison to Tim O’Brian’s writings. A requirement of my final project is that I interview Vietnam Veterans about their feelings towards the war. I understand that this is a sensitive issue thus, I understand if you are reluctant to participate. However, any information would be greatly appreciated. I have copied the interview to the bottom of this post, please e-mail them to [email]
[email protected][/email]. I have also added an anonymous way to submit your information at: [url]http://badz2801.tripod.com/[/url].
Sincerely
