@andrewphelps: Check

My first front-page North County Times story ran this morning.

It’s a profile on a veteran who recently returned to Vietnam, 35 years after his tour of duty, to find closure.

Veteran returns to Vietnam to learn and heal

He practiced his Vietnamese, too, learning to say things like “hello” and “thank you.”

“The words I knew before in Vietnamese were, ‘Stop, show me your ID or I’ll kill you,’” he said.

I can check another life goal off the list now.

    I don’t subscribe to the Times, but serendipitously I bought a copy from one of the Alpha project guys this morning. Well-timed indeed – great article.
