This 60 minute class consists of personal experiences dealing with the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War Era of American History. Mr. Draper was both an active anti-war protester and after he was drafted he served in the USAF lying C-141 in and out of southeast Asia. The topics covered are widespread: from the mathematics of the Moratorium on Washington, DC to the folk music to Woodstock to the serendipity of the first draft since WWII. I use slides, lecture, music, Q & A, and a wealth of reflections that you will find informative, entertaining and colorful.

So the singular event in my life at age 16 was the job I was assigned in Job Corps LBJ version of Peace Corps) at the Long Island National Cemetery where I worked on burial details. All day along young men only years older than myself were being buried as result of being killed in Vietnam. It was quite "upsetting and scary" for me back then. I guess I will need to be careful in how I present that. My actual "in country" service while in the air force has stories but nothing like what an "in country" infantry soldier would have to share.
Requisitos previos
Watch the CBS coverage of the Vietnam War draft of Dec. 1, 1969. Great trivia question is "What popular CBS TV show was canceled so that coverage of the draft could happen on CBS?"

What is generally referred to as "The Moratorium" has a useful reference at Wikipedia. This is a nice summary of interconnected events in terms of both protest activities and political responses. Check it out. The drawing of the drat numbers that changed the lives of half a million draft age young men was only carried by CBS. It is worth Googling and although not exactly riveting drama it does speak to serendipity and life outcomes. The Vietnam War Memorial in DC was the "founding father" of displaying the names of the fallen. My wife and both my children watched me cry when we went to DC for a National Academy of Sciences meeting and went to visit the memorial to see if I could find the names of two fraternity brothers from college that I was sure had not made it back. A virtual tour of the memorial means more to me than the history of its creation; but to each their own. I may invoke some music from the protest movement. Again with personal preferences. The only song that comes to mind to me that was "pro-war" or at least not anti-war was "Ballad of the Green Berets" which got considerable airtime. 1966 the year I graduated from high school. I recall singing "Walk Away Renee" far more often though.

LBJ created Job Corps in a manner not unlike JFK and the Peace Corps. At age 16 my mother insisted I stop caddying and get a real job so I joined Job Corps and worked at the Long Island National Cemetery where every day of that summer I watched burial ceremonies for 18 year old boys/men(?) that had been killed in Vietnam. The taps, the gun salute, the folding of the flag, the passing of the flag to the grieving mothers. As an impressionable 16 year old high school student it is no wonder I morphed into an antiwar activist. But as Paul Harvey the radio commentator was so fond of saying "here's the rest of the story."
