Innocent victims of War
Category: Life

I help fundraising efforts for the American Vetrans-the Amvets. I sit next to a man named Steve Q. A big guy six foot two inches and 240 pounds. Nice man to talk to. I over heard a conversation, it goes something to the effect of:

"Yeah I joined the 3rd division Marine Recon div, called the Red Bull." I went to Viet Nam in Febuary 1964. I was captured and held in a prisoner of war camp by the V.C. for 2 years 9 months and 13 days. I escaped with 4 other G.I.'s and we ran as fast as we could. I fell into a 60 foot ditch and a large tree limb stuck through my body. I had compound fractures in one arm."

"I woke up to young viet girl caring for me with men around-U.S. officals."

"Went home, years later my wife took kids out and a drunk driver hit them a killed everyone. Man I was down so low, I can't even begin to describe it."

"Years later it was time for me to get right with God, so I went back to church. I went to church,one day and this Viet lady looked at the scar on my arm and rubbed it. Me,Riu Thi. Me same same I you (meaning I know your eyes) You G.I.?" "yes," said Steve. She said, "Me baby you have no food.I baby you.I love Steve!"

So the story goes she never forgot him and knew one day she would see him again. Steve moved on since his families untimely death.

As of today Steve Q and Riu Thi have been married for two years....Who says there is no God.

Steve Q. granted Joseph permission to write his story on Oct. 23, 2007
