10.5 : Reunification Hall and our Guide Song -Sai Gon (HoChiMin City)

REUNIFICATION HALL AND OUR GUIDE SONG : SAI GON, October 5, 2010 

 

Our first day in Saigon, we visit the reunification Hall, where our guide Song tells his story.  Song is a former ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) who now works for Soldier's Heart.  After his time in the service, Song raised a family and became a teacher of English and other subjects.  Song is our translator, our organizer, our tour guide, our everything.  He has been embraced by our American Veterans on the same journey to heal the wounds of war through storytelling, and promoting peace.  This day's history lesson brought much reflection to the veterans in the group, for some learned things about the war in Vietnam they had never known.
