Today we visited an American air base and helicopter base. After talking to a "mamma som" ( you don't talk to the men they don't remember and just say yes and lie) we found the site where one of the men served. I brought things over to give to the kids and they seem to like coins and today I broke open the tootsie pops but of course I had to teach them there was a surprise in the center. He was no different than you all are wanted one of each color. The pictures are the gides mama sun the base, a pieces of old sand bags from the bunkers , razor wire left from the fence, and her plantation.
This is the mama son who remembers the Americans putting her on a cart daily to go to school, giving her a kiss and some gum. She waited almost 50 years for another kiss and lots of packs of gum.
Now we are off to the tunnels of CU CHI
