About

Hello everyone.

This blog is a part of the Thuy Smith International Outreach organization and is all about Vietnam Veterans. It will be about the return trips they take back to Vietnam with me, our Annual Vietnam Veteran’s Day gatherings (open state-wide and to other states), humanitarian projects they get involved with me to Vietnam & Cambodia, presentations I or other Vets are involved in, & other resources and information that may be of interest.

We will also have a guest blogger from time to time.

Everyone’s experience was different in Vietnam (Vietnamese & American veterans), different when they returned (or back in Vietnam), their process of healing, & where they are with this process today.

We respect all experiences and all processes.

We try to bring awareness to everyone’s story without taking away from the experience of anyone else. It can be tricky sometimes.

Although different experiences, many similarities.  Let’s come together on the similarities. Let’s take what was once considered a negative and turn it into a positive.

There was  healing to be done all the way around.  We have new important roles to play.

Coming together with the connection to Vietnam that only we can understand best, can be healing. Telling your stories is even more powerful, not only for healing, but for education.
