South Viet Nam. (www.answers.com/topic/nguyen-cao-ky) for you
younger members.)
After much coaxing via phone calls, Mr. Ky finally convinced Corbin
to accompany him on a return trip to Viet Nam.
Upon arriving at the airport in Saigon, 4,000 people greeted Gen. Ky
and those accompanying him, including Corbin Cherry. Their visit
was inspiring and included a trip to Hanoi where they met with the
current Minister of Hanoi. The Minister embraced the group,
including a number of U.S. veterans when he became aware of their
desire to help the children of Viet Nam. That meeting lead to
subsequent trips to Viet Nam, to bring wheelchairs to kids who
where victims of land mines and the effects of Agent Orange.
In January of 2006, Corbin returned to Viet Nam with more veterans
and more wheelchairs: 50 from the states plus 50 more from the Viet
Nam government. He plans on returning again soon with more vets
and more wheelchairs.
