Complex Truths, Clear Valor:
Vietnam Revisited
“History is not was, it is." – William Faulkner
Vietnam Delegation Outlook
The Vietnam War left enduring wounds—strategic, cultural, and moral—that still shape America’s global posture and domestic unity. Too often, its legacy is reduced to protest slogans and Hollywood scripts, overshadowing the Cold War stakes and the dignity of those who served.
During the year of America's 250th anniversary, this delegation seeks to reclaim the truth and apply the lessons alongside those who served.
By walking the ground in Vietnam, we confront a fuller, more honest narrative: one that restores the war’s geopolitical context, honors the courage and competence of American service members, and sees the conflict as a flawed but sincere stand against communist expansion and for democratic values.

Our Mission
At Eagle Society, we champion the power of citizen leadership to address society’s most pressing challenges. Inspired by America’s founding leaders, we create transformative experiences through Impact Cycles that inform and engage influential networks to overcome problems, shape civic culture, and empower communities to live freely and well.
Vietnam Delegation
Journey Overview
This is not a luxury vacation. It’s a mission.
Kicking off on the evening of March 1, 2026, a select group of leaders and veterans will travel to Vietnam for an invitation-only experience designed to disentangle the truth from the complex issues surrounding the Vietnam War.
Alongside veterans who served, established business leaders, world-class thinkers, and civic innovators, we’ll walk the battlefields that have shaped public imagination and explore the deeper geopolitical, moral, and civic legacy of the conflict.
This is a rare opportunity to challenge prevailing narratives, engage directly with veterans and Vietnamese partners, and reflect on the war’s enduring relevance in today’s world.
Participants will leave with more than a thorough grasp of history—they’ll leave with strategic clarity, moral grounding, and a deeper understanding of their own role in shaping what comes next.
