As complex as American society is today, the history that that brought us to where we are now, is even more complex. As a public school student, during our country's involvement in the war in Vietnam, the images of the war I saw every day on television played a major part in developing my perspective of how and why this war was being fought. I love living and working in America but, many of us fail to seek a global perspective on world events. Those of us that live in this part of the country, live demanding stressful lives. But despite this, we understand the great responsibility we have to help not only our neighbors in our own community but, our neighbors in our global community as well. As we now communicate daily with the world, our global perspectives are evolving. As time passes, and major international issues arise, I believe it will become natural for us to act as a member of the Global Community. Bob Ford

Now I got a look at your video talents - extremely impressive! Vietnam really had an impact on you, and you did a great job portraying that in your story.
FANTASTIC!!
I'm a multitasker, and I couldn't leave the page til it was done, but I wanted to hurry back here to comment.
The opening footage was very powerful- did you actually see footage like that during the war?? Loved the song it's perfect- isn't that a Doors song? Was is meant to speak about the war?
The little shots of the dominoes was great. I leaned in closer to the screen so I could see the other dominoes;)
Overall, fantastic job- Thanks!
