 I was able to go to the world. That war was for the sake of the two sides. It was for the country to be taken, for the country to die. The only thing that left was the peace. It was for the people to live in peace. So I think that now that we are in the US, we all have to live in harmony. In the decades since the war ended, Vietnam and the United States have taken important steps to rebuild trust and repair relations between our two countries. Vietnam's cooperation has been essential to the U.S. government's attempts to account for missing U.S. personnel from the war, and we remain grateful for that partnership which continues to this day. I'm the only daughter of the People's Liberation. Every time I get a father, I feel sad and sad. I was on the tree, looking down. The place was so painful. I had no idea how to get a father. My father lost his life. I thought I had to find a father to give him back. When I was told the result of my father's death was true, both my parents and my two children were crying and not eating anything. It was so happy. I was so happy that I found my father. I was so happy that I found my father. Here we were, our Vietnamese. And now we can go beyond that and work together. The Vietnamese were the ones who gathered the remains of Paul and sent them. They're getting their fallen soldiers, and so they're going through these same feelings that we're going through, the welcoming them home years later. We're all one family on this earth. If we can heal from the hatred of that war and the ugliness of that war, we can come above anything. Over the past 30 years, the United States has supported programs to help people in Vietnam who suffer from war-related disabilities, to locate and destroy unexploded munitions and bombs in the cleanup areas, contaminated with dioxin, and form a U.S. military base at Da Nang in Min Hoa. We see the physical and non-material legacies of war as both an ongoing challenge and a foundation for our ongoing cooperation. We know well that it takes time to fully reconcile and heal after a violent conflict. At USIP, we support greater dialogue and trust-building between the United States and Vietnamese governments and peoples, including the Vietnamese diaspora living in the United States. We do this through public events, online exchanges, research publications, and videos featuring the families of missing soldiers. These efforts are part of USIP Asia Center's mandate to demonstrate an American way of peace-building and reconciliation that is led by ordinary citizens, veterans, refugees, business people, and peace activists, as well as by diplomats and officials. Our experience in Vietnam shows that even after a brutal war, it is possible to rebuild a strong partnership with hard work and patience from all sides.
