Now that I got you hooked on NPR, I wanted to share one of the most touching stories I've ever heard there. I heard the first part in the car and set in the driveway just so I could hear the whole thing.
I actually recommend listening to the story over reading it.

Part 2

Part 3

It hit home even more when a buddy at work told me about his own family's struggle to get out of Vietnam and how his father served 4 years in an internment camp for being an officer in the South Vietnamese army.
