“Vietnam, History & Culture” with Todd DePastino
Long before the Veterans Breakfast Club, Todd DePastino taught courses at Penn State and Waynesburg University titled “Vietnam in War and Peace.” In 2018 and again 2020, as the Director of the Veterans Breakfast Club, he finally got to lead a tour of Vietnam from Hanoi in the North to the Mekong Delta in the South.
The third VBC Vietnam tour with 20 travelers will leave in November. To mark this upcoming trip, Todd presents a lecture on the history and culture of Vietnam, focusing especially on the lessons learned while traveling in Vietnam. You’ll hear about its unusual geography, natural beauty, ancient culture, and vibrant economic life. We’ll also talk about the war, of course. How it’s remembered in Vietnam and how the Vietnamese treat Americans when they meet them.
Todd will speak for 45 minutes and then open up the Zoom room for questions and conversation.
You’ll learn the truth about the Tet Offensive, how Confucianism determines traffic patterns, why Vietnamese people are obsessed with your age, and the three things to know before crossing the street in Vietnam.
Join us for a fun night of history and travel talk!
The PACT Act and your VA benefits
This new law expands and extends eligibility for care and benefits for Veterans and survivors related to toxic exposures.
The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.
The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that we assume (or “presume”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.
This page will help answer your questions about what the PACT Act means for you or your loved ones. You can also call us at 800-698-2411 (TTY: 711). And you can file a claim for PACT Act-related disability compensation or apply for VA health care now.
