Making Headlines while Making new Memories in 'Nam

Our Visit has brought much media attention in Vietnam.  Here are the links I have received so far (mostly in Vietnamese).

From our broadcast and interview with Vietnamnet: There's a photo of Joe Caley who spoke on the panel on the topic of reconciliation between soldiers and all people of the US and Vietnam.

From the Vietnam University - Ha Noi Campus, School of Journalism and Communication: (has Gabz Ciofani's poem "Lending a hand to Healing" translated in Vietnamese)
 

"Please tell them that the writers here can't stop talking about them and felt that the reading was so special. I have been asked by several newspapers to submit the Vietnamese versions of some of the poems read by your group, for printing on national newspapers."
  In an email from Que Mai, poet from the Vietnamese Writer's Association, who translated our poems, and helped translate and facilitate the poetry readings to accommodate writers and listeners in two languages.
