Sharing a return to Vietnam

I’ve been swept up in the wonderful blog, Return to Vietnam, posted by TJN staff writer Nicole Neroulias, who accompanied her dad, a retired Army Col. Andonios Neroulias, and a contingent from Rockland County’s Vietnam Veterans of America and Rotary Club members on a three-week tour of Vietnam.
The trip was sponsored by the Spring Valley Rotary Club.
The stories that Nicole has written have been interesting and moving. But, reading her blog, I’ve just been fascinated by her story, and/or her observations of her dad’s story, as she shares his return, and watches the experiences unfold. No doubt this was a great opportunity for her to stand with him in what was certainly a major life experience. She goes above all expectations in her storytelling, as she watches her dad’s reactions, and weaves her own thoughts, his memories and news-style commentary. Her work, especially with a subject so close, is absolutely outstanding. I hope all Rocklanders, and all LoHudders, view her blog.

Nancy,
Thank you for your observations and kind comments on my return to Vietnam 40 years later with my daughter Nicole. This trip has been a great and satisfying experience for both of us, and I hope more Vietnam veterans will return to Vietnam to see for themselves that the war is over, and the Vietnamese are going about leading normal lives, having put the “American War” behind them.
very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
