Hi @outlander @Snowie @tyme

I learnt a lot about the Vietnam War today @tyme. It’s the 57th anniversary of the battle of Long Tan today. It’s also Vietnam Vets day. One of the guys that spoke was actually in the battle of Long Tan. I haven’t seen the movie yet but apparently it is close to what happened. Just a little history for her!

Re: not coping

Yes, I've read that book to my niece in the past. She loved it. Hence I got her this other book by the same author. It's called Mieko and the Fifth Treasure @outlander

I haven't read this new one. But I'm sure it'll be good. I also have to be careful because she's only 7 years old. I don't want her getting traumatised and scared.

Re: not coping

That's awesome @Captain24 ! I'll share that with her.

Guess what I just realised from reading your post? When I saw Vietnam Vets Day, I automatically jumped to Veterinarian's..... that's why I've been so confused whenever you posted how important this Vet day was....

I'm sooo sorry!!!!

Re: not coping

Do you feel you need to go out because your pop isn't home? Or that it's because the house bringing back memories? @outlander

Is it okay if we keep you company?

Re: not coping

It's very important for me too @Captain24 . The more I read about it, the more it means to me. I'm glad you have been able to honour your uncle in this way.
