To commemorate a painful chapter in American history, the John Adams Institute published a series of blogs by Vietnam vets, all of them members of the 1964 class at Dartmouth college in New Hampshire. For the 50th reunion of the class of ’64 Phil Schaefer brought together 55 essays by classmates who served during the Vietnam era. ‘The war our country would like to forget, but should remember’, this is how Schaefer describes the Vietnam war in his introduction to the collection of essays.
The John Adams Institute provides an independent podium for American culture in the Netherlands. For three decades, we have brought the best and the brightest of American thinking from the fields of literature, politics, history, and technology. Love it or hate it, what happens in the United States is of continuing relevance for the rest of the world. We host a number of public events with the goal of examining cultural phenomena related to the United States, be that of national or international concern.
