This was a fairly big event for little ol' Lubbock. The Vietnam Archive has an excellent reputation as a premiere facility for anyone interested in the study of the Vietnam War.

You may wish to read this story. This caused quite a buzz in all the local news outlets.

The U.S. soldier that found Thuy's diaries spent 30 years trying to find her family. He finally gave the diaries to Texas Tech's Vietnam Center. Tech found the Tram family. They flew to the U.S. and Thuy's mother held her daughter's words to her chest for the first time in Lubbock, Texas. Kim says, "I can tell you my mother never cried and this is the first time she's cried. I've never seen her cry." Wow, he spent 30 years! Very moving story, thanks.

The print story is pale in comparison to the TV version. I think that the page to which I linked has a video clip available.

Sorry. I thought that I had copied the video target.
On the page for the story, there is a video camera icon below the headline. If you click on the icon, then you should be able to view the clip.

I didn't have a chance to read all of the PDF file but it appears that this dead doctor was NVA or VC supporter, sympathizer ? Is that correct or am I reading the few pages wrong ?!?!

Exactly. This woman was VP or PAVN. SHE was NOT ARVN or RF/PF. Before everyone gets all misty eyed, did this woman help treat GIs?
If she was VC/PAVN, why are parents/family now living here?
WTF?
