Half A Century of Influence
Vietnam has been an important part of Terry Wolkerstorfer's life for more than half a century. It all started when he served in the Mekong Delta as an Army Officer from 1966-67, and extends to present day as he helps Vietnamese and Hmong high schoolers write their college application essays.
Vietnam has been a part of my life in one way or another for more than half a century. Hard to believe--that's more than two-thirds of my life!
