Wandering Thoughts
by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn
As we work to address current national challenges, there is no
better guide than history Every issue today appears new or unique
or unprecedented, but there is always a relevant episode in the past
that can serve as a guide, or a learning experience. Conditions in the
world may change, but the nature of human beings remains constant.
My generation grew up in the midst of the Vietnam War. Our
outlook was shaped in part by the political and social upheavals
generated by our involvement in Southeast Asia It was a most

Vietnam veteran reunions in the new facility, as well as hosting of Victoria Field
national and international conferences
Dr. Reckner conceived the idea for this project while visiting West Virginia
Gettysburg and seeing a list of names on a monument to Pennsylva- Canyon 30-6
ma soldiers who died m the 1863 battle
“The names meant little to me, even though I was born and raised
in file same state. I could not identify with them, the monument
would not tell me their story,” Dr Reckner said “1 realized that 100
years from now, the names on the wall of the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington may not mean much to people, even
though for those of us who served in Vietnam, the Wall is an
intensely emotional reminder of our comrades in arms who did not
return from the war,” Dr Reckner says His idea was to record and
preserve the stories of Vietnam survivors, including their memories
of those who made the ultimate sacrifice
We can hope that one lesson of Vietnam has already been learned
well When men and women returned from the jungles of Southeast
Asia,' they were often vilified and mistreated by opponents of the war
Instead of targeting their opposition appropriately on our civilian
leadership, many war opponents took out their frustrations on those
who had done their duty
Happily, conditions are different today Even most harsh oppo-
nents of our involvement m Afghanistan and Iraq are careful to
underscore their support for the men and women who serve our
country abroad. We now welcome home our volunteer soldiers with
open arms, great pnde and a deep appreciation for their sacrifices.
There is far more to be learned from our Vietnam experience.
I’m proud that Texas Tech is providing a leadership role, creating a
national treasure in educating the world about the Vietnam conflict.
It will honor the service of our Vietnam veterans and guide us as we
face future challenges.
