Author Dr. Jamy Schaap will share his experiences from the Vietnam War at the next Rotary Club of Carson City meeting. Schaap’s book, Vietnam: My War – Five Decades Later, reflects on his service during the war and revisits those memories more than 50 years later.
The public is invited to attend the luncheon meeting on Tuesday, May 5, at noon in the Brewery Arts Center’s Grand Ballroom.
In his memoir, Schaap blends wartime recollections with present-day perspective, illustrating how time may change — but never erase — the impact of war. During his presentation, he will explore what soldiers believed at the time versus what they understand now, and reflect on the decisions, losses, and moral dilemmas they faced with the clarity of hindsight.
The Brewery Arts Center is located at 449 West King Street in Carson City.
