In a weird twist of fate, at a SHOT Show a while back, I was walking past some vendor's booth when I saw an obviously Vietnamese young man with the name Nguyen Truong on his badge. I commented that I had once known a man with that name.

He replied that it was an unusual name, and that he was named after his father, who had been an artillery captain in the war. I was utterly stunned. I just had to ask, and the young man said, yes, his father had disappeared and they never heard of him again.

What a story. So much more i would like to know but respect the personal nature of the details.. 

My best friend in High School, Ret LT Col, Special Forces, was visiting me a couple weeks ago. He is trying so hard to get his Afgan translator and family out alive but is expecting an out come similar to yours.
