Hello, I'm Dan and this is my project. In honor of those who sacrificed their lives to defend democracy and the south, for my project I wrote a poem for them.
We must never forget our Saigon
I fought for our Saigon
My men and machines have fallen to protect it
We have been stationed at our Saigon
Our Saigon is under attack
Our forces are protecting our Saigon
But alas, it fell to the enemy
But we must never forget our Saigon
Even though it is no more
Even though the name is no longer
My men fought for it
We must never forget our Saigon
The project helped me take a deeper look into my parents lives, who were born while the war was in progress. This gave me an understanding of their behaviors and the reason behind it. My grandparent's story taught me to always keep moving forward, along with that I managed to retrieve another piece of the story giving me another view on the full picture
