After the Village planning and budgeting agreements were finalized for 2008 - 2010 we prepared for the celebration of the accomplishments of the first 10 years of operation. The event was preceedeed the previous evening by a event planned and executed by the children, volunteers, Vietnamese "Rock Stars", staff and members of the surrounding community. The kids really are the program with their music, songs, dances and skits supported by local and nationally known musicians. It was impossible to keep our hands from clapping and toes from tapping.
Vietnamese veterans who had been treated at the Village were there too. It was an emotional time for me as a veteran of "The American War" to meet and hug those who I had once considered my enemy.
