Really want to know

Just to set the scene, I am 81 years old, a professional musician for over 65 years, and a Vietnam Vet. I wonder how many young people would be interested in learning how I grew up, and the values I was taught? Why don't teachers use us old people to talk to their classes to highlight the differences in our upbringing?
I am 41, and in middle school had a vet from the Bataan Death March and another who was in Burma talk to me, and a few others at a small table. The rest of the middle school was split up similarly in the gym in small groups with other vets.

The Burma guy was black and upset the white spldiers in the fox holes insisted he jump on them when they were getting mortared, to be used as a shield. He went his own way.

If you have a tale to tell, put it someplace. If you can make it interesting enough it may end up published, and if it makes the rounds of popularity, you may indeed be called by some schools and universities to verbally retell it.
Your story might be interesting. Why don't you try writing a couple pages about an interesting event and post them here. Tag me, I'll take a look, and let you know what I think.

@OliviaOfTheNight yet you just did the exact same thing by implying you are special by being a veteran and engineer
