    Great story! This happened thousands of times and I wish more Vietnam Vets would have the same experience.

    Gary was quite a looker in his younger years and produced a most beautiful, loving, and caring daughter. Her Mom must have been beautiful, proud, and strong to raise such a wonderful daughter. Loved this meeting of father and daughter.

    This was so heartwarming. And Olivia is absolutely stunning and her dad seems so proud and invested in building a relationship with his newfound daughter. I’m still amazed at how young she looks, my jaw dropped when she said she was 50.
