Re “An Emotional Visit Home: Vietnam--13 Years Later” (Feb. 23): Moving! Absolutely moving! Ho Van Xuan Nhi’s account of returning to his homeland hit me hard, as it must surely have hit countless others who have had to uproot themselves from the soil that nurtured them.
May the wounds of war heal, and may many more Indochinese and others be permitted to re-establish bonds with loved ones in their ancestral homelands.
This prayer for the Year of the Dragon comes from an exile who has not been permitted to set foot on his homeland of Burma since March, 1961.
