Library of Vietnam

Now here’s a cool Vietnam veterans project I read about in the current issue of VVA Veteran: The Library of Vietnam.

It’s a string of children’s libraries, with books, computers and Internet connections, mainly across the middle of the country (the northern end of the former Republic of South Viet Nam), financed, stocked and built by American and Vietnamese veterans and others who want to help and are able to donate money and/or time. Begun by one Americal Division veteran, Francis (Chuck) Theusch, who got the idea from a Vietnamese interpreter while visiting the My Lai massacre memorial in 1999. A good excuse to revive this haunting song.
