Dear Mr. Patrick Camunes,
I am a student from Aragon High School and in our Junior English class this semester we�re reading The Things They Carried by Tim O� Brien, the story of Vietnam. In order to get better associated with the true history of the �Nam war, our teacher wanted us to research stories that veterans, like yourself, have wrote. I would first want to start off with this: Thank You. Your flashback story titled Shadow Fields is a real eye- opener. Its amazing how after so many years past the war you still remember the vivid picture as if it were right in front of you. But I also find it sad. Sad how you can�t go back to the way your life used to be before the dreadful Vietnam War. I know this probably won�t mean much coming from me, a person who wasn�t even in the era of the Vietnam war, but through your inspirational writings, hopefully you�ll be able open the eyes of far more people than me, as I�m sure you have. Its just disappointing how it has to happens due to your personal suffering. I wish you all the best in life, and your wife, and hopefully some day soon, you will be able to cope with the awful flashbacks of that historically monumental war.
Sincerely,
An Aragon Donnette
