Oral+History+Reflection

After the Korean war part of the unit, we both had our own distinct opinions, but, we weren't sure what the opinions of people who actually went through this time. With the oral history project, we were able to figure out just that. You never know what people think about anything until you come out and ask them. We were able to learn about many different things from the eyes of somebody that actually went through it. With this insight, it is easier to understand the war that include, opinions on the draft, and feelings and actions during the war.

We learned not only about passed events, but about current ones as well. Just recently, North Korea sank one of South Korea's ships. The troops were notified and ready for battle, showing how there is still a lot of tension between the two nations and showing that it is still possible for a was to break out. There was so much insight i got from this project that we both feel that we know more about the war and how it had an affect on everybody.
