A Visit To The Orphanage

Christmas 1969, Vinh Long

December 24, 1969 Christmas eve night a group of MP's went to the Catholic Orphanage in Vinh Long to visit and be entertained with a Christmas Pageant by the Children.

They also sang Christmas Carols. It was very moving and wonderful to have a few hours of real Christmas but it really made me miss my family all the more. 

The Children did make it a special Christmas I'll never forget.
