VIETNAM-PEOPLE

It has been 2 weeks since we returned from this unforgettable journey. These photos will continue to keep our memory alive. Friendly, industrious, hard-working, and happy are some of the adjectives that seem appropriate to describe the people of Vietnam. They honor their ancestors by displaying photos of them near
the altars they have in their homes. They value friendships and enjoy gathering for food and drink.
We sensed no ill feelings or grudges against us Americans, despite the destruction we caused to their homeland.
