That time of the year was uncomfortable for me. I finally got the guts to go to a TET celebration. I had so much fun watching the different activities. They announced the national anthem. I figured it would be VN anthem. No. It was the American national anthem. What a surprise. After a few short short speeches (in English) the activities began. Young children, 5 yr old up through high school, all in beautiful attire got on stage. One grade after another they did a skit, singing, dancing, whirling bright cloth. The VN food was good. Any of you have ghosts from the TET Offensive this will take them away. If you have no ghosts you will enjoy enjoy the program. I went with some trepidation and soon everything was good. Very good and enjoyable. So if you hesitate in going, try to give it a go. They embrace America while remembering their Vietnamese ancestors.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2019 date\u200e: \u200e5 February, The year of the \u200ePig From Robert Kelly, D\/227, 1967-1968 I was in country during the TET offensive of 1968.
