Postcards from Vietnam's avatar

I would like to see more stories from your childhood. I know you occasionally dip into some memories, but some personal posts from the lens of a child's point of view would be very interesting. ...or maybe how weird it was leaving Vietnam and coming back to America.

Alas, I have so few cohesive memories. It may be because of the trauma of the time--even my older brother says he has very few. Almost every memory I was able to "excavate" is in "For the Love of Vietnam." Sigh.

I'm looking for your mom's story now 🙂 her experience is every bit as fascinating as your dad's, just different!
