Ma 2008, ua kau ka'aha'ōlelo i kekahi kānāwai e aʻo ana i ka Pentagon e hoʻomaka i kahi 13-makahiki commemoration o ke kaua Vietnam, hoʻomaka i ka lā Hoʻomanaʻo Nui, Mei 28, 2012, a hoʻoholo ma ka lā Veterans, November 11, 2025. Ua hoʻolālā ka Papa'ōlelo i $ 65 miliona no ka Pentagon e hiki ai i nā kula a me nā kulanui me ka hua'ōlelo aloha alohaʻoʻAmelika e "mahalo a mahalo i nā koa o ke kaua."
I kēia manawa, ua hoʻopiʻiʻia e ke Kōmike Hoʻokipa Hōʻailona Pentagon ma luna o nā hanana kaiaulu o 10,800. Ua hoʻoholo ke kōmike i kahi ala haʻahaʻa keʻano haʻahaʻa, eʻimi ana i nā hoa kūpono ma mua o nā mea hōʻeha o ke kaua. ʻO ka hoʻokomoʻana i kēia alahele he lālā lōʻihi loa o ka moʻaukala ma ka pūnaewele pūnaewele. ʻO ka lā 1945-54, no ka laʻana, ua uhiʻia i nā hua'ōlelo heʻumikumamālua.
ka ? eaia ia Ken Burns a aʻo Lynn Novick hōʻike kiʻiʻoniʻoni no ka Vietnam Vietnam e hoʻomaopopo ana i ke kumu o ka laweʻana o ka Pentagon. ʻO ka Burnga-Novick 18-hola saga ua hoʻopiʻi nuiʻia e nā mea kākau moʻolelo akamai. ʻO Bob Buzzanco kakau iho la inā ua hoʻokauʻia nā mea kākau e ka poʻe mele ma ka puke, "Nā Moʻolelo o nā Kupa i Vietnam i ka wā o ke kaua,"ʻaʻole nui ka'ōhumu e pili ana. "Akā, ua hoʻolahaʻiaʻo ia ma keʻano he moʻolelo o ke kaua, aʻo ia ka mea nui loa i pilikia. ʻO nā moʻolelo o nā koa e hāʻawi ana i ka neʻeʻana i nā manaʻo a me nā kiʻi o ke kumukūʻai kanaka no ke kaua, akā,ʻaʻole lākou e pane i nā nīnau nui e pili ana i ke kumu e hōʻemi ai nā aupuni i nā lāhui liʻiliʻi a kokoke e puhi iā lākou i ka Stone Age. "
ʻO keʻano o keʻano o nā mele kahiko, he mau pūʻalia a me nā mea hoʻolālā maluhia e hanaʻino i nā koa US. ʻO Jeffrey Kimball kakau iho la"ʻO kā lākou hoʻopiʻiʻana i ka puka a me ka hoʻolālāʻana o ka US antiwar movement i ka wā o ka Second Indochina War - ka mea iʻikeʻiaʻo ke KauaʻAmelika (ʻo 1954-1974) - he kūponoʻole,ʻaʻohe'ōlelo kūlana,ʻaʻole i lawa, aʻo ka hewaʻole."
ʻO nā mea hoʻolālā maluhia, nā kūpuna a me nā mea kākau moʻolelo i waena o lākou, ua lōʻihi i ka hana i ka hoʻoponoponoʻana i kēia mau manaʻo hoʻohaʻahaʻaʻole a hoʻokūpaʻa i ko lākou manaʻo no ke kaua me he meaʻole a me ka pono ole. Ma kaʻikeʻana i ke kauoha a ka Pentagon i ka mahinaʻo Kepakemapa 2014, ua hoʻokumuʻia e nā mea hoʻoulu kaua o Vietnam (Vietnam) Hoʻohanohano Hoʻohanohano (VPCC). ʻO kāna kumu i manaʻoʻia e "nānā i nā hana a ka Pentagon, e hōʻalu iā lākou inā pono, a e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i keʻano o ka hoʻoili kaua i ka hopena o ke kaua."
Ua hui nā lālā VPCC me nā luna o ka Pentagon a hāʻawi iā lākou i nā mea i komo. ʻO kēia mau hana i loaʻa ai New York Times Haawina i Nowemapa 2016 i kapa ʻia ʻo "Activists Call for Realistic Portrayal of Vietnam War on Pentagon Website," a alakaʻi i ka Pentagon hapa hapa o kāna palapala manawa Vietnam. Ua nānā mua ʻia ke kaʻina manawa ma luna o ka luku nui o My Lai, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "My Lai Incident."
Ua kākoʻoʻo VPCC i kahi kūkākūkāʻana ma Wakinekona i ka Mei 2015, i kapaʻiaʻo "Vietnam:ʻO ka Power of Protest. E haʻi ana i kaʻoiaʻiʻo. E aʻo ana i nā haʻawina. "Ma kahi o 600 i hele.
ʻO kekahi VPCC hālāwai Hoʻonohonohoʻia no kaʻOkakopa 20-21, 2017, kahi hui ākea e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka hōʻailona 50th o ka mākaʻi kaulana ma Malaki ma ka Pentagon. Kūkākūkā nā mea kamaʻilio i ka mōʻaukala o ka mōʻaukala a hoʻomanaʻo i ka hopena pono'ī. ʻO kekahi kumuhana e kūkākūkā anaʻo iaʻo "Nā PBS a me nā Lessons Unlearned." Aia kekahi o nā mea kākoʻo o ka hananaʻana he mau Moʻolelo no ka Haumāna a me ka Democracy, Pākahi no nā Kuleana o ka Pākīpika ma Asia o George Washington University, a me nā Veterans for Peace. Hāmama ka mea i ka lehulehu. ʻO ka uku kūʻai he $ 25 a me $ 10 no kaʻaina awakea i ka Pōʻaono.
Ua kākau nuiʻia e pili ana i ka Kaua Vietnam ma nāʻano likeʻole. ʻO kā mākou hua'ōlelo pono'ī no ke kaua, a me John Marciano i kākau pū me ia, e nānā i nā kumu a me nā hana o ke kaua mai ka manaʻo o ke kahua kaua wale nō. ʻO ka hua'ōlelo 80,000 palapala i nā kiʻi 200. ʻO ka hapakolu ka hapakolu o ka hoʻoikaikaʻana i ka neʻeʻana. Ua kākauʻia no kahi pūnaewele punaewele me ka lehulehu i ka manaʻo, uaʻimi mākou e kūkulu ma luna o nā hōʻike o ka Pepa Pentagon, e noi ana i kaʻike o Marilyn Young, a hoʻolālā i ka kaua ma muli o kaʻike pono o Martin Luther King Jr. .
