title: Tim Hawthorne, The Vietnam War in America

description: [profile bio] Tim Hawthorne, the owner of Northridge Lumber, was a young kid when his older brother, Pat, was drafted for the Vietnam War at the age of 17.

Despite of all the disagreements, Tim's brother wasn't called to serve since his father used his connections to stop him from joining the Army.

title: Le Ly Hayslip, The Special Gift of Suffering

description: [profile bio] Born on December 19, 1949 in the small town of Ky La in Central Vietnam, Le Ly Hayslip was the sixth and youngest child in her family of farmers. At the age of 12, American helicopters invaded her village, and at the age of 14, the South Vietnamese government prison tortured her under the premise of "revolutionary sympathies." Soon after, she was raped by two Viet Cong soldiers. She then fled to Saigon, where she and her mother worked as housekeepers for a wealthy Vietnamese family. After she had an affair with her employer and became pregnant, she and her mother fled to Da Nang. She then met and married an American civilian contractor named Ed Munro, whom she had another son with, and together they moved to San Diego, California. After he died of emphysema in 1973, she married again to Dennis Hayslip, with whom she had her third son. The couple filed for divorce in 1982. In 1989, Hayslip published her first and most popular book: ""When Heaven and Earth Changed Places: A Vietnamese Woman's Journey from War to Peace."" In it, she talks about returning home to Vietnam in 1986 to see her mother and siblings. Today, she lives in Los Angeles, California, with her three sons. She is a founder of two charitable organizations: East Meets West Foundation and Global Village Foundation. Through these two foundations, she hopes to rebuild cultural bridges between Vietnam and America. [profiler bio] Jack Zang is a senior majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Accounting.

title: Le Ly Hayslip, Forgiveness

description: [profile bio] Ly Le Hayslip was born in Ky La, Central Vietnam, in 1949. When she was 12 years old, American helicopters landed in her village. She endured torture in a South Vietnamese government prison for "revolutionary sympathies" at the age of 14. Her adolescence was torn by the Vietnam War, and she has been a victim of the horrors of the war for most of her life. She moved to San Diego, California, in 1969, and has lived in America since then. She has written the memoir "When Heaven and Earth Changed Places" (which inspired the film Heaven and Earth) and the memoir "Child of War, Woman of Peace." In 1988, she founded the "East Meets West" Foundation, which physically and emotionally helps to rebuild lives on both sides of the world. Through her foundations, she became a bridge builder by bringing American groups back to Vietnam to help restore her motherland and open the dialogue between the two nations.

title: David Holmes, View From the Driver's Seat

description: [profile bio] Dave Holmes is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He served in the US Army from 1964-1966. Dave was drafted during his first few years in college and joined the army without regret; he was happy and eager to serve his country. In Vietnam, Dave drove a truck that carried military supplies and food from the coast to the Cambodian border. During the war, Dave and his fellow soldiers knew about the (secret) bombing of Cambodia, unlike most of the American public, which was misinformed and unaware of these attacks. When asked if anyone told him that these attacks remained secretive, he claimed that they were not. These bombing strikes were simply thought to be attempts of self-defence; their goal was to keep the enemy away. Dave fondly remembers the peddlers in Vietnam selling knickknacks, cigarettes, and other items for the soldiers. Luckily for Dave, he did not suffer from any post-traumatic stress or nightmares after the war. He easily adjusted back to life in the States. Soon after the war, Dave met and married his wife Michele - they have one son. Dave is now a retired machinist and resides in Ventura County, CA.

title: Bob Holmes, Charlie Don't Surf

description: [profile bio] Born in the US in 1946, Bob Holmes graduated from UCLA and was commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant by the time he graduated (although he skipped the graduation ceremony). Commissioned as a combat engineer, Bob left for Vietnam in 1970. He began his service at a base camp in Saigon in July and ended it a year later in July of 1971 with the 1st Brigade, 5th Mechanized Division in the Quang Tri province in the city of Quang Tri on the DMZ. Although he was headquartered in Saigon, Bob traveled to many places in Vietnam because he was with the Army Security Agency dubbed the "509th Radio Research Group" since it did not officially exist in Vietnam. Bob was in Vietnam with top secret security clearance due to his role as staff engineer to the Army Security Agency. His job included planning and programming construction and conducting major repairs for the radio research field facilities which intercepted electronic signals throughout the country. He was then transferred to an independent mechanized infantry brigade and became an intelligence operations officer. He conducted POW interrogation reports, examined electronic intelligence, and managed ranger and scout reports. After the war Bob returned to the US to become a management consultant and also a Councilman and Mayor for Manhattan Beach, California.

After retiring from Coca Cola, Irving has moved to Douglasville, GA where he still remains in close communication with his former comrades.
