Speaker - November 8th, 2019

-
On Friday, November 8th, we hosted Mr. Larry Johnson, former Vietnam veteran, to tell us some reflections about his time fighting for our country. It was extremely informative and interesting to hear the viewpoints on the war through the eyes of someone who fought in it. He spoke about the effects of the government taking over more authority in this war, and also told some moving and humorous stories about his war-time adventures as he flew helicopters. It was a great discussion to hear just in time for Veteran's day.
