Dont be angry. The memories never fade but the anger should. My wife and I went to Vietnam in 2017. Its a different country now. Political Situations change.

Reading that it was a son who flew the Colonel home, images of the intro of “J.A.G.” immediately came to mind with Harmon Rabb, Sr sitting on the edge of his F-4 Phantom while young son (Harm) looks up at him from the cockpit.

The anger isn’t aimed at the people of Viet Nam, my FRiend.

Not at all trying to be unkind here, however if your trip with your wife, as tourists to Viet Nam was your first time to Viet Nam, I doubt if any attempts by me to explain the “anger” will be totally misunderstood.
