Hi, My dad served in Vietnam. Growing up details of the war or memories were never really mentioned and I never really asked. My dad is a recovering alcoholic who quit drinking when I was very young (1980-ish). My mom died in '96 and ever since then my dad's been in a very deep depression. He started gambling compulsivly and lost everything except his car and a few belongings and is now in debt to the IRS for over $100,000 (pretty bad for a guy on a blue collar pention!) Ever since my mom died and this depression hit he talks about the war more. My dad is now going to GA (gamblers annonomous)and trying to get his life on track and I would like to plan a trip for he and I to go to Vietnam. I think it would be good for him. However, I'm struggling with poverty myself and can't afford the airfare that I've priced. Does anyone out there know of any groups that will financially help vets travel back to Vietnam?

Thanks,

Rebecca
