He reviewed important milestones in Vietnam – US diplomatic ties in peacetime, the role of the VUS and mass organisations in promoting bilateral ties.
Lawrence, who is in Vietnam from March 18-22, said the visit affords him a chance to learn about Vietnam’s post-war recovery and development, the country and its people.
In 1991, the VFW sent representatives to the delegations of the US Congressmen and ex-veterans to Vietnam to discuss the search for the US servicemen missing in action.
It also sends delegations to Vietnam each year to learn about the country’s situation, the Vietnam – US relations, and especially dealing with the search for missing Vietnamese and US soldiers during the war.
