Sent to War: Returning For Peace

Thursday, July 3 | 6:00 pm

Presented by Colonel Charles M. Bechtel, USA (Ret.)

 

Charles (Chuck) Bechtel will share his experience as a Vietnam veteran and the healing experience of returning to the country with a group organized and sponsored by a Vietnamese woman who was sent to the States at age five as Saigon was falling. 

 

Colonel Bechtel was active throughout his career in procuring help for the often maligned and misunderstood Vietnam veterans.
