Your Viewpoint
You are IN FAVOR of the mural. However,
you believe that the mural should
not only be about the war. You would
rather the mural depict how Vietnamese and Americans are living together
in peace.
You want the citizens to understand that
Vietnam is a country, not a war. You want them to learn about the country
of Vietnam, its location, its place in history, its culture, and its people.
You believe there are many facets of Vietnam that most citizens know nothing
about.
You hope the mural will include a celebration
of your country and not just be about American soldiers.
