I made a poster covering information on the medics in Vietnam, like Rat Kiley, and will present it in class.

Process:
This journal was harder then I expected. I wanted to research the stability of Vietnam War medics, such as Rat Kiley from The Things They Carried. But I was having trouble bringing up any information on the subject. I tried many different search engines such as Google Scholar, Ask Jeeves, and Yahoo. Along with websites such as the History Net, but the only available information was more a form of dedication to the medics and overall information. I was still able to fing interesting and insightful information, which reinforces that I believe Rat was one of the strongest characters in The Things They Carried. I wish I could have found more information on the mental health of the medics during and after the war. It would be intriguing to see how many medics did break down like Rat Kiley. My poster deals more with overall information on the medics, along with a few pictures.
