Healing the Wounds of War with Steven Stratford

This is the story of brave veterans who return to Vietnam to heal their emotional wounds. The Veteran's Vietnam Restoration Project was founded in 1988 to conduct peacemaking trips back to Vietnam. Americans who once fought there now help to build much needed medical clinics. Steven Stratford has gone back to Vietnam four times.
