My husband is with you. He never even wants to go to Hawaii (where he took R&R). He sees nothing personally good for him to rehash that time of his life, in books, movies, or conversations with others. Yet many people do.

I'm sure you love your Vietnamese grandchildren. My husband's #2 gal was from Vietnam. We still keep in contact with her and her husband. But she was very young when that was going on.
