Thank you sharing this. It's easy and a bit intoxicating to hate on your country right now, especially as your neighbour. This is a beautiful reminder of the good people at the heart of your country. I'm reading The Women by Kristen Hannah right now and learning so much - Vietnam was something I knew nothing about, except that as a kid when the theme song of M.A.S.H came on I would go somewhere else to play.

Thanks for your comment, Corina. I admit I googled, "Can I get Canadian citizenship if a grandparent was Canadian?" in November. There's many, many more of us disturbed by what's happening and trying to figure out how to make a difference than are visible in the news.

Very powerful episode, and nice photo by your father. My mother was a grade school teacher, too, so we traveled to many of those same historic sites. Thanks for highlighting the promise to be truly great by embracing all.

Thanks, Ben! Teachers just can't help themselves from teaching, can they?
