This is the story of a U.S. Army veteran who went to Hanoi forty years after returning home after serving in the Vietnam War.

Richard was a full-time faculty member at a historically black university that offered classes in Hanoi to students from various countries—even Communist ones like Russia and China. When he was asked to teach an MBA program there, he agreed.

But stepping off the airplane, he was apprehensive. His thoughts turned to the time he’d spent mostly with the 20th Combat Engineers in Pleiku, including his last thirty days in Vietnam, after most of his battalion was pulled out except for a small contingent left behind to support and advise an Army of the Republic of Vietnam unit.
