His father, David R. Mann, was an engineer with the Army. He was in Vietnam just six weeks before he was killed on May 28, 1969 at Dak To in the Kontum Province. Dave never knew his father; he was killed before he was born. But Dave has made it his mission to get to know him. Dave recently told his story in this powerful and very moving Honor Flight podcast episode. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/4133130a-9ed0-4621-88a5-d1be2efe5008/Sandy+Lindsay_sq.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Sandy Lindsey Sandy is the daughter of Army Major Erman “Mink” Newman Jr. He arrived in Vietnam in March of 1966 and served as a Ranger Advisor near Danang. On August 12, 1966, Major Newman was training South Vietnamese rangers when his group came under attack, and he was killed. Our initial call to discuss the trip took place on Major Newman’s birthday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/ab323ef2-444b-4b78-b3b5-689ce3bcf79a/Wendy.jpeg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Wendy Zimmerman Wendy’s father, Charles “Chuck” Owens Jenkins, Jr. was in the Army Special Forces. He was killed early in the war on June 10, 1965 in the Battle of Dong Xoai when his camp was overrun by Viet Cong. Wendy was two months old when he died, and she has been comforted through the years knowing that he was able to see photographs of her. As a teenager, poetry became her place of sensemaking and refuge from the war’s impact on her family, and it sustains her to this day. Wendy is humbled to participate in fellowship with the Vietnamese, walk in the footsteps where our fathers walked, and offer her love and support to her sisters and brothers in loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/3c8a43b3-0508-48b1-b805-c457cca07a9e/Dawn+and+Jason+Mather_sq.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Dawn Bryant Mather and Jason Mather Dawn’s father was Army Pilot Donald Ray Bryant, who was killed in a mid air collision over land on June 27, 1966 in Tuy Hoa. His accident was caused by two different air traffic controllers giving conflicting instructions to Pilot Bryant and the pilot of the other aircraft, a truth Dawn found out long after the fact. Like many of us Dawn has wanted to go to Vietnam for a long time, and the 2 Sides Project mission really appeals to her. She also likes the idea of going with fellow sons and daughters. Dawn lives in central Ohio with her husband Jason, who will be on the 2025 trip as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/4e3e1491-e647-4fb2-9f62-594d8f6783f8/Dona+Stewart_sq.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Dona Stewart Dona’s father was Air Force Staff Sergeant Donald David Stewart. He was killed on December 11, 1965 in the Khánh Hòa Province, south of Tuy Hòa. That date and location may look a bit familiar: Mr. Stewart was the loadmaster on the same flight as Jan Wieneke’s father, Major Robert Milvoy Horsky. Jan and Dona have met before, and were recently at September's Rosette Ceremony at the Courts of the Missing Monument in Honolulu. Dona has also been to Vietnam before. She went in 2007 with her mother, who had spend a year tracking the crash site. They sent villagers to the actual site, which took two days over mountainous terrain. Incredibly the villagers came back with boots and even a tooth. We will be honoring Jan and Dona’s father from a spot away from the crash site, which sits in treacherous terrain, but we’ll be in sight of it. Amazing these two daughters will be together for that! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/299f05bc-11a4-4c0e-b7e4-642d481abd91/Ron_sq.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Ron Reyes Ron Reyes’s father, PFC Ronald Reyes (USMC 1st battalion/9th Marines), was killed on March 30, 1968 on a hill overlooking Khe Sanh, during some of the worst fighting of the Tet Offensive. Ron was just a few weeks old at the time. He turned out to be a vital participant on the first 2 Sides Project trip; as a GPS expert skilled in search and rescue operations, Ron had to argue with government officials at times, but he was able to guide everyone to the exact location of their father’s site. Ron is traveling this time as a special advisor and beloved 2 Sides Project brother! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/402f5072-09b2-499a-a552-b9f68ca80f92/Mike+Walling.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Mike Walling Mike is a lifetime resident of the state of Arizona. His brother is Jeff Walling (below) and his wife is Dina Walling (right). Mike’s father was Lieutenant Colonel Charles Walling. He was a pilot in the Air Force who was shot down on August 8, 1966, 35 miles northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. Lt. Col. Walling was listed as missing in action until 2011, when his remains were positively identified and he was returned to the United States to be laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery. Mike’s hope for the Vietnam trip was to embrace and enjoy it. “I'm thrilled to go and see the sites and have closure, and to interact with the sons and daughters.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/73a957c4-8ce0-417c-a867-342f3fd0d8df/Debbie+Eller.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Debbie Eller Debbie is the daughter of Air Force Captain Johnny Howard Godfrey. Doug Godfrey is her brother. Captain Godfrey was killed on January 11, 1966, and he remains missing in action. Debbie was 10 years old when her father was shot down, and she went to Vietnam with distinct memories of him. She also traveled with a memento of their relationship: a wish bone from the last Thanksgiving turkey the family shared, just days before Johnny left for Vietnam. He’d promised his little girl that they’d break it when he came back. Debbie preserved that bone over the years, taking it with her on every move around the world. She and Doug finally broke it together at Johnny’s crash site, and cast its pieces into the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1547328835145-M2BWABGHPEP42WTIX8OA/barbara.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1530560119100-2PZPBKU48547Q4OJ9S1K/jillw_pic.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1526511411490-KTS6E3CAEMST87SD6WL4/Susan.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/790c9672-cd25-4275-93e5-3ebd0616f5e2/Lynn+McNally+Dynice_sq.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Lynn McNally Dynice Lynn lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts and is the daughter of USMC Captain Paul McNally, who was killed on June 6, 1965 near the Chu Lai airport off the coast, also south of Hoi An. Captain McNally was the pilot of one of two helicopters which collided midair shortly after takeoff from the USS Iwo Jima. The crash claimed the lives of eight squadron members. Lynn’s grandmother was active in the Gold Star Mothers from its start, and was involved in the building of The Living Memorial Hospital in Lien Hiep, Vietnam. It is still a functioning hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/a9aae20d-e193-47ac-8d65-bf5d7f1b3182/Jan+and+Dave.jpg VIETNAM TRIPS - Make it stand out Jan Wieneke and Dave Bushroe Jan and Dave are childhood sweethearts from Arizona who are newly based in Utah. Jan’s father, Air Force Major Robert Milvoy Horsky, was killed on December 11, 1965 in the Khánh Hòa Province, south of Tuy Hòa. His plane was carrying three other Americans and 81 ARVN paratroopers when it crashed into a remote mountain. Jan’s family was initially told there would be no remains, but they got a call from the US government in 1979 saying 17 bags of bones had been recovered, a few of which were buried in a group grave in Arlington. Other remains of the ARVN paratroopers were buried in Westminster, California in 2019.

Doug carried a letter from his father all the way to Vietnam to bring to the site where he was killed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1547074038154-TKS6J5USQ2TDG9C384DD/IMG_6993.jpeg ABOUT Kim Carlson Benner and Duong Minh Can, whose fathers died fighting on opposite sides of the Vietnam/American War. Kim was four years old when her father was shot down near Bien Hoa in December 1966. Can was nine years old when his father was killed. Can was also injured during the war. He said that an American medic healed him, “so I had mixed feelings about the Americans from then on.” Kim too had mixed feelings about the Vietnamese. Once she met the other side in person, she came to know that the pain of losing a father was shared. Can and Kim met during the most recent 2 Sides Project trip to Vietnam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1547155788773-L0579Q55S4MD1CRC7605/IMG_0956.jpeg ABOUT Dung Vu and Barbara Brumet, whose fathers died fighting on opposite sides of the Vietnam/American War.

Dung Vu wasn’t sure she wanted to come to the 2 Sides Project meeting, but in the end she was happy she did. “We are all proud of our fathers, but we are not proud of war.

Giang’s father, an educator, was killed in 1967 when Giang was two years old. Giang’s uncle and grandfather also died during the war. Today Giang is an educator who believes “we should do all in our ability to maintain peace for both sides.” Jill is an educator too. Her father’s plane crashed into the Gulf of Tonkin in March 1968. To this day he remains missing in action. “In Vietnam I have met people who fought and who lost on the opposite side of the war, and they are all gracious and friendly toward me. It’s been an amazing experience to connect with them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1547589768087-381JGWH4XVZD9L0MHA0L/teachers1.jpg ABOUT During the Vietnam War, Tran Trong Duc and Nguyên Thi Dao were teachers at a boarding school for “children of war martyrs.” They taught and cared for hundreds of Vietnamese orphans, some as young as six years old. Over the years they became so close to the children that they remained in touch with many students well after the war ended. They have an unbreakable bond that has seen them through loss, and love. Duc and Dao met at the school and later married, as did 90 couples who were students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1547590523101-2P1WKOWJAAN0HBIEMNL4/1489710878069.jpeg ABOUT Nguyen Duy Dung and Patty Young Loew met in Quang Tri province, Vietnam.

Susan's father was killed near Cao Lanh City in 1970. Ms. Loan's father was killed in Quang Tri in 1968. Ms. Loan knew only the sound of her father's voice because he fought far from home.

He took me to places I wouldn’t have known to go, where there are no Americans and no tourists. He taught me a lot about how to approach people you want to photograph. He said just go right up to them and start a conversation. We did that with Hoa. She told me she had worked at the airport during the war, that she loved her colleagues and loved the Americans. She showed us pictures of her grandchildren. It was instantly intimate. She had the same warm, friendly spirit of everybody we met. There's such a story in her face, this down to earth quality that I just thought was really sweet and beautiful.” Hoa and more stunning photographs from Vietnam are available in any size at http://bit.ly/2SwXK4n. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1570765819263-59M61SB9E5PULN7HUMZA/Bonnie+and+Thu.jpg STORIES Bonnie Dean and Pham Dinh Thu. Bonnie’s father, Air Force Captain Robert N. Brumet, was a career officer who was killed in 1964. His death was widely reported because his plane was carrying too much ordinance, and it crashed into a home, killing a Vietnamese woman and her three children. The incident helped end the use of training jets for combat. Thu, one of four children, has few details about how his father died. He knows only that he was fighting in the dry season in 1968, that he was in the transportation battalion, and that he died when he reached the southwestern part of Vietnam. Thu said he felt very emotional meeting the other side in Hanoi. “I hope our fathers in heaven will bless us.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560c81b4e4b0fdd5d69ef09e/1570765365934-A92TOND3DIKFJ20XQHFC/Jerilyn.jpg STORIES Congratulations to our sister in loss Jerilyn Brusseau, who has done so much to help restore peace between Vietnam and the United States. She is a mentor and a friend, and one of the kindest people we know! We are grateful to learn from her example and that of her mother Rae how to help heal the wounds of war on both sides. We were privileged to speak to both Jerilyn and Rae a while back about Jerilyn's brother, Daniel Bernard Cheney, a distinguished COBRA pilot who was killed in 1969.

I looked down from the docks and saw the most beautiful shades of blue. The colors just jumped out at me. This ended up being one of my absolute favorite shots from a composition perspective.
