Subject: 2nd Place Shirt

Dear Mr. Brandt,
I am a 16 year old high school student currently learning about the Vietnam War. We are reading The Things They Carried, by Tim O’Brien. I am sure you have heard about it. We were assigned to go to war-stories.com and read a few stories and reflect on them. I read your story, “2nd Place T-Shirt, A Reflection on the Anniversary of the fall of Saigon.” I was taken aback by how many people that you had become close to had passed away. I feel horrible and couldn’t imagine what it feels like to have a loved one lost. Thank you very much for fighting in the war and protecting our country. You are truly a hero in my eyes. I can understand how the shirt brought so many emotions ran through you when you saw that shirt. You must have been so hurt by the deaths, and to have persevered through the pain is truly amazing. Thank you for your service.
