Mr. Adams Speech First off, let me just start by saying that I thought his speech was really interesting. I learned so many new and interesting things from him about the Vietnam War. Something I thought that was interesting was that the base was very secluded in the middle of a jungle. I would have thought that it would have been in a town or community.
