A celebration in Vietnam. A Viet Cong reunion
Posted: Fri May 04, 2018 12:45 pm
A friend of mine was a platoon sergeant in Vietnam in 1969. Niner Delta served with him in the same company. He and I were instigators of a battalion reunion in Branson in 2015 and we have known each other for years now. Decades after Vietnam he went back on several visits and ended up marrying a girl he had known when he was a soldier. He now has a home in Vietnam and one in the US and spends part of each year in each country. He recently went to a celebration in his wife's old village of former Viet Cong and mentions it at my other site. It's quite interesting to me what he tells of that party he went to, and might be interesting to others....particularly those who served in Vietnam...... to get a history lesson in what was once and what is now and how resilient the people in Vietnam are in spite of painful personal family history caused by that war.
