Currently my father is 70 years old and when he was young he used to be a soldier of America Vietnam war in the South of my country. War environment is super dangerous because of the certain bomb or the gun. A soldier must be careful in order to avoid dying anytime. Actually when I asked about the past he didn’t tell much what he didn’t tell much exactly what he had done but through internet and textbook I can see that his job was super risky and stressful. Until now he still has a compensation for taking part in that war from Vietnamese government. After 1975, Vietnam is unionized and he did another job delivering goods and this job gives him freedom which he couldn’t have much during the war. To be honest I’m not sure I can I brave enough to become a soldier like him because it requires a strong bravery a strong mind and a strong spirit which I wish I think that I need to practice more.

Currently, my father is 70 years old, and when he was young, he used to be a soldier in the American Vietnam War in the south of my country. The war environment is super dangerous because of the bombs and gunfire. A soldier must be careful to avoid dying at any moment. Actually, when I asked about the past, he didn't tell me much about what he had done, but through the internet and textbooks, I can see that his job was super risky and stressful. Until now, he still receives compensation for taking part in that war from the Vietnamese government. After 1975, Vietnam was unified, and he took another job delivering goods. This job gave him freedom, which he couldn't have much of during the war. To be honest, I'm not sure I can be brave enough to become a soldier like him because it requires strong bravery, a strong mind, and a strong spirit, which I think I need to practice more.
