Men are Aussies. Woman has been married to the man next to her for 15 years. From Adelaide, he's lived in Vietnam for almost 26 years. Every 14 months or so, he goes back, usually to see a sick relative or attend a funeral. Man on the right is from Corny Point, population 150. For the last five years, he's spent months each in Vietnam.

Woman lost both parents when she was just one-year-old. They were in the NVA. Her dad died in Quảng Trị. Since her home province of Hà Tĩnh was bombed so heavily, her grandparents decided it was best she be put in an orphanage in Hanoi. She became such a good student, she ended up studying in Moscow, where she stayed for 7 1/2 years.

"Sometimes he yells at me, so I say, 'You're a man, you cannot yell at me!' He'd say, 'I'm sorry, I was in a war.' I'd tell him, 'You were in a war for one year! I was in a war for 20 years!'"

"Even today, I cannot look at blood, brother. When I first had my period, I was terrified!"

Though she has visited Australia several times, she prefers Vietnam, "It's very sad in Australia."
