volunteer tour guides, all of whom fought in the Vietnam
War, showed off aircraft and tanks used in the war. They also
shared stories of basic training, medic experiences,
helicopter parachuting, and adjusting to life after returning
to the U.S.
Who knew that a Vietnam War time machine existed next to
an alpaca farm in Ruckersville, Virginia? On May 23rd,
students in Matt Deegan?s World History II classes boarded
it.
After the museum tour, students organized into small groups
and conducted formal interviews with a local veteran from
the American Legion Post 74, based in Keswick. Then, back
in class, these student groups wrote a news article -- or
created a podcast or video -- based on their interviews.
These students climbed into helicopters and a hippie van,
clutched 1960s weaponry, and tried on military packs at the
Vietnam War Foundation Museum in Ruckersville. Their
