It's officially The Holdovers season! A perfect movie!!
And also a movie that led to a lot of personal research into a sort of hidden piece of American history, at least when it came to my education. The Vietnam War is such an important piece of this movie, albeit sub-textually, and I knew almost nothing about it! So, let's celebrate this Christmas season by diving into one of the saddest things I've ever read about. Yay!
