For this week’s podcast, I checked in with Howard Goldin, a Vietnam veteran and Spring Valley Rotary Club member who helped organize the humanitarian trip to Vietnam that my father and I joined up with last November.
Howard just got back from another return to Vietnam – his fourth time in the last three years – and talked to me about what he gets out of these journeys, both as a veteran seeking closure and as a Rotarian engaged in charitable projects. (Here’s a picture of him with Dien, an 18-year-old orphan he and his wife Doris are sponsoring to go to vocational school for the next two years.)

All Vietnam veterans should be moved by the humanitarian efforts of fellow veterans to help our former enemies move on with their lives. I earnestly wish that more Vietnam veterans return so that they can realize that their sacrifices were not in vain. Sponsoring a child to go to college for $300 a year, What a bargain! Perhaps there is a program that we can send our children to college in Vietnam and save $29,700 a year.
