Um...
My grandfather was in the war...even thought it probally got nothing to do with the topic subject.
He was working for the royal laos, I heard from my Dad that he was like a General. Theirs alot of bull$hits stuff people said about him..like he and his mens were capture by the V.C. Some said he was trying to sent a message to the South Viet but got caught.....to this day my family dont know what happen to him.
Wow. I haven't study much about Laos involvement in the war. I know now Laos in currently communist, but I didn't realize that there was a democratic regime allied with South Vietnam. Still, it's a sad story that is repeated over and over again. The Vietnam War...it's a terrible tragedy that has touched so many lives.
