I found the accounts inspiring and food for thought about Americans's responsibilities in the world. While some would disagree, I believe that we entered Viet Nam in our national interest, but without intent of malice. In the course of military operations against a determined foe, harm was done to the ecology and people of the country. What the story of the returning veterans tells us is that Americans are a compassionate people who try to make amends for the wrong they may have done even when they failed in their nation's mission. The nobility of these veterans shines through the relief program that they have undertaken. Again, Nicole thanks for telling this story.
