This year is the 40th year since the fall of Saigon and an end to the Vietnam War…..I will be posting a lot this year on my war with the hope that Americans will remember and finally understand……..
Many Americans know the problems that some vets had when they returned home…….unless you were there you cannot understand the internal battles that many of us had to fight…….
This is piece is a good one on the lengths Viet vets will go to to find the peace that they may have not known for 40 years……..
This may be of little interest to most but if there is a Viet vet out there that will find this an uplifting article…….then it is not a waste of time…….
US vets come to Vietnam to confront past, and find a home – Yahoo News.
I found the article very interesting. It’s amazing how time can heal the deep wounds that remained after the US left Vietnam. Of course, there now are young people who didn’t experience the terrible ravages of war. And, last but not least, taking into account how creative and what good entrepreneurs the Vietnam people are, the US dollars brought into the country’s tourism business, are very welcomed.
I was heartened to read that so many of our veterans have found some peace with their new Vietnam experiences.
It has been difficult for some to find peace…..we take it where we can find it….
For sure, indeed.
