 Topic- The Vietnam War Protest Interview Subject- Greg Bultman (Matt's Father)

After hearing how the protests had affected someone on the inside, to this day, we saw the Vietnam War protests in a new light. We didn't realize that even something like the mindsets of student around you could influence you so much. After hearing these perspectives on the war, from someone that had to live it, we began noticing the little things around us and how we react, or how others reacted to it.

America was greatly changed from the people who thought the war to be unjust. The protests weren't a matter of free speech, but of public opinion and the rights of not just Americans, but those around the globe. Mr. Bultman had the experiance firsthand, but with the story passed on, we gained secondhand knowledge of the imagination of how it must've been. Sometimes you had a greatly different opinion than your friends, and it then defined you more. But with the whole country feeling the same way, all of America had been defined, setting the stage for life today.
