What is the story behind the extra hand on the Iwo Jima memorial?
From an interview published in The Washington Post of U.S. Marine Corps gunnery sergeant Thomas W. Miller Jr., who fought in the battle of Iwo Jima, and in his booklet, this myth is proved to be incorrect.The entire article can be read at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45559-2005Feb22.html."I thought maybe I had missed something, so I started researching it," Tom said.He found that the rumor had been bouncing around for years, spread on the Internet and among amateur tour guides. He decided to do a little booklet debunking it, along with all the other myths and misconceptions that had grown about the battle, the flag-raising and the monument.He read accounts of the flag-raising. He spoke with sculptor de Weldon about the myth. ("He threw his hands up," Tom said. "He said, 'Thirteen hands. Who needed 13 hands? Twelve were enough.' ")"I thought it would be two or three pages," Tom said of his booklet. "The Iwo Jima Memorial & the Myth of the 13th Hand" ended up being 20. It's sold at a break-even price of $2.50 at the bookstores at Arlington National Cemetery, the National Archives and elsewhere.
What impact did the Vietnam war have on families of soldiers?
Hard on American SoldiersI think it affected the American soldiers because they were there and they felt like it wasn't their war to fight. Not only that they would sit and wait for the enemy and then out of no where and then just like that your friend right next to you would be dead. They were also in extreme weather and had barely any food. Not to mension that those who have been exposed to Agent Orange and now have to deal with cancers and getting the skin cut off so it doesn't come back. They also have nightmares and bad days when they just dream about it or think about it. That is my opinion but if anyone else know or thinks different I am open to new ideas of why it is hard on them. US servicemen returning home from Vietnam were treated with hostility, discrimination, and rejection.
