It was recorded that 58,220 U.S soldiers died in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was part of the Cold War period, when the United States attempted to contain Communism. It lasted from 1955 to 1975 and Communism won, One U.S soldier, Sandy Kemper,who died in the war, wrote a letter to his family during the Vietnam War.

In the first two paragraphs of Sullivan Ballou’s letter to his wife, he talks about the seriousness of the situation and how determined he is to follow through on the task he has set for himself. In the letter, Sullivan Ballou writes, “Lest I should not be able to write again…and it may be of some conflict and death to me” (paragraph 1). This quote shows the seriousness and the severity of the situation, and that it could be a life-threatening situation. However, Sullivan Ballou still does what it takes to complete his job and is determined to follow through. In paragraph 3 Sullivan Ballou writes, “And I am willing-perfectly willing- to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this government, and to pay that debt.” This shows that Sullivan Ballou is determined to do whatever it takes to help maintain the government even though it can cost him his life and all of the joys of his life. After the first two paragraphs of Sullivan Ballou’s letter, he transitions to the third paragraph where he changes the subject to his feelings for his wife Sarah. Sullivan Ballou starts paragraph 4 by writing her name at the beginning of the sentence to signify that he has stopped talking about the war and has now moved on to express his feeling and love to Sarah.
