From Written Words to Real Life Voices

On September 15, 2026, Greg Holloway and fellow Vietnam veteran Don Dingman visited Casey Morrison’s English 10 class at Lincoln Southeast High School. The students were reading Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried.

Greg and Don brought photographs and military equipment, connecting the students’ reading with the experiences of people who lived through the war. Sophia Clark’s article explores their service, the support they found in veterans organizations, and the value of sharing their stories.
