| As in all wars there is the legacy of the children left behind. It has been estimated that 50,000 children were born to U.S. servicemen and civilian workers in Vietnam. Tran Thi Mai is one of those Amerasians, now a woman in her 30's. Her father was killed in an auto accident while on leave in the United States. |
| Abandonded by her mother she now searches for her. Her mother allegedly lives in Massachusetts. Anyone having knowledge should contact me. Brian Hjort is from Denmark and helps Amerasians to reunite with their fathers. If you are a father and want to try to help your child find you please visit: www.amerasian-childfind.org |

| Innocence and war. Not a good mix. |
| Always curious. Never judgmental. |
| Kids are kids the same all over the world, but not all have seen war. |
