My heart is full, due to this story. In 67, unknown to the military, I married a Vietnamese farmgirl by the customs of her people, effectively marrying in to the village. While I was away, returned to duty, someone wiped out my village. I had planned on staying there. At the time it seemed possible. All these years later, I still miss my sweet Nawn and regret our daughter never got to be born. She was and shall always be my one and only. Bless you two, and your families and your reunion.

Rachel is gorgeous. What a beautiful face she has. Her mum is so elegant and stylish. So happy for them. I hope they find the brother soon.

I dream of the day when I hug my father like that. I haven’t seen him since I was 5

I couldn't even imagine, as a parent, what it takes to have to make that decision nor as a child being sent far away from home. Heart wrenching to say the least.

Imagine being a solider loading people up to the last flight out of Saigon. Having to tell women with their children that there wasn’t anymore room on board and they wont be saved

I lost all of my family. Am alone till today. My mom died when am five I don’t know where is my dad is . This happened during Khmer Rouge 1975. Being foster child is not that easy. I don’t know my parents names or my own name sounds weird but the truth.
