High school Student’s reaction to Vietnam Tragedy
“My life or yours” by the Roseville High School Student Rich Hall expresses a deep concern for the truth to be heard. To me, this is a big representation towards the deeper underlying connection within our society. In this instance, and many others where these high school students feel the need to speak the truth. Just like the women who were directly affected by the war in losing their loved ones and then having to take over as bread winners for their family’s. In the same sense of not being heard, they’re voices weren’t given the same respect as men in that time period. This made me question why our Government wasn’t truly being the voice for the people if that’s what they were established to do in the first place. There is a place and time for everything, but if our voices aren’t being heard and the people aren’t able to truly feel supported and protected then why what are we really doing to ourselves? We are keeping each other confined just like those prisoners in War. And what does being confined do? Speaking from experience, it makes one go crazy. I no longer question why our economy plummeted. Do you?
And so the journey begins
It’s the start of year 2! I can’t wait to see how much more we will learn and grow. One important thing I learned and I try to apply every day I step foot into the hospital is that we are helping treat people, not diseases. They are much more than their diagnoses, they are people.

Vietnam War Archives
The article that stuck out to me most was from a mother and son in El Toro, California. This letter caught my attention because of the photo attached on the top left. This photo was of a little boy who was 2 1/2 years old who has never seen his father. in the little section there is a note from the boy directed to Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson and it says:
“I am 2 1/2 years old. My daddy has never seen me. For over 2 years he has been missing in action- shot down in the Vietnam war and my mommy is very sad. She cannot get word as to whether he is dead or a prisoner of war. She keeps asking everybody but cannot find out a thing.”
PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY DADDY!
This stuck out to me most because this is what still goes on today and most children never find out what happens to their father when he goes to war. Bizz Johnson did reply back to the mother and son who had the curiosity for their loved one. He replied with :
“Arthur S. Mearns, is listed as ‘missing-in-action’”
This letter was very dear to my heart I wouldn’t have been able to be the wife of Arthur S. Mearns and be able to just take the response Bizz gave her I would have more curiosities growing and be wanting to know more about his whereabouts.
First Post!
I can’t believe we are all starting our second year of the nursing program! It is amazing to think how far I’ve come from the first day, and that we will all be nurses in less than two years. I have gone from being extremely nervous to be in the hospital, to being excited about getting my own patients to care for! I felt a little skeptical about the technology aspect of this course, but after the first day I can’t wait to see how much I can accomplish throughout this semester in Med Surg II.
