A little girl whose parents were killed by pirates during their escape from postwar Vietnam stood in her only dress in an island refugee camp, pleading to come to America.

Although U.S. citizens, the Japanese parents of Don’s childhood friend were held behind barbed wire during WW2. Two decades later their son died defending America.
