1971 Vietnamese Letters

As I Read many people’s letters in a very important time for the U.S something catches my attention from all of them. Although every letter is unique in its own way all of them speak of something in common. In every letter that I read every person mentioned the fact that president Nixon made a promise that at the time he is not committing to. This captured my attention because I’m the type of person to always keep my word. I would especially keep a promise that includes millions of thousands of people. To be more specific a promise that people’s life depend on. Further more those people have families who are hoping they come home alive. I would not be able to extend any amount of time on a promise that is so valuable for many people.
The first letter I read was from a retired solder who had fought in the Vietnam War. Who more than a solder who was in the middle of one of the biggest war’s know what was best for the county? The solder urges president Nixon to retreat from the war. He specifically mentions the fact that Nixon made a promise to his country to retreat from the war with a Bill that would bring solders home. Also what really caught my eye about his letter was that the solder mentioned how Nixon tempted twice to seek a conclusion military victory in the country. Overall this letter captured me for the solders desire for Nixon to bring solders home and end the war.
The fact that Nixon extended his promise to many Americans who expected it and wrote to him with his concerns is brassard to me.
