SUMMARY:Viet Nam in Peace and War
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans\, especially our veterans\, only know of Viet Nam as a place of horrible warfare. But Viet Nam is an ancient culture with a rich spiritual\, artistic\, and historical heritage stretching back 3\,000 years. This week marks the 51st anniversary of the end of the Viet Nam-American War. \nJoin Belchertown resident and psychotherapist Dr. Ed Tick and area war veterans Gene Herman and Pete Rogers for a program on Tuesday\, April 28 at 7pm presenting Viet Nam in both peace and war. Ed has led 19 healing and reconciliation journeys to Viet Nam since 2000. Pete has returned on his own. In Viet Nam we find loving\, forgiving people with no wartime PTSD who say\, “Please bring your veterans here so we can heal them with our love.” \nJoin us to explore Viet Nam in peace and war. Share stories of Viet Nam during the war and at peace. Learn why these remarkable people have no wartime PTSD and how understanding and reconciliation brings healing. Immerse with us in Vietnamese culture and honor our veterans and the end of that war. Ed Tick will also read from his full poetry collection\, Coming Home In Viet Nam. Books will be available.
