First of all, the Vietnam War is not honored, or celebrated, among the American people because America lost that war. The veterans of the Vietnam War probably feel disgusted about american values or traditions because americans only honor the wars that are won. In the veteran's perspective it would seem degrading that no one is celebrating their bravery and strength. During the war, the people back in America, “Seemed to be splitting up between people who wanted to make love and peace and people who wanted to tear the cities down” (Myers 152). Even though society back at home was being torn apart, the soldiers still brought on their best and fought hard. Overall, just because America did not win the Vietnam war does not mean those soldiers do not deserve a celebration or any form of gratitude that shows that America respects and honors
