A Vietnam Diary’s Homecoming
For 46 years, Bob Frazure has wanted to return the small, red diary he took off a dead Vietnam soldier’s chest. Now Bob has asked Wes Cowan to find the soldier’s hometown and return the diary to his family. The search becomes part of a profound international exchange as U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gets involved to present the document to Vietnam’s Minister of Defense.
