I have been told that stories about the help we provided through Civic Action have been passed down from generation to generation in South Vietnam.
Based upon what I found/hear in small villages in Normandy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland during my tours with US Army Europe about good memories of US troops helping them during WWII, I think that the stories about the good done by our Civic Action folks being remembered is true.
I was a medic with 1/1 Cavalry, Americal Division in central South Vietnam, 68-69. Some of my best memories are being part of MEDCAP teams in our AO.
Went back with my daughter in 2000. Some places much the same. Some very different. Whole sets of new people. Wonderful place. And in the South they really like Americans.
