    S4 E6 A Legacy of Service with Richard A. Berliner

    Xin chào and Hello! Welcome to another episode of LEGACIES. My name is Sophia Tran-Vu, Board Member at Legacies of War. Today we have the sincere pleasure of welcoming our friend, Richard A. Berliner, a journalist, author and community activist. Author of A Different Journey: Vietnam 1965-1973, Richard shares with us the story of his young adult life -- his journey to Vietnam to find adventure in a place as unlike home as he could imagine. What he discovered during his time in Vietnam was a country, a people, a culture not defined by war. Countless visits to remote villages, walking for miles to return someone home safely, and staying to discover and uncover more stories when others were returning home. Richard ends this interview with a quote from Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has". Indeed, his life and dedication to the service of his community demonstrate exactly that. Learn more about Richard A.

    S4 E5 A Legacy of Persisting with Murray Hiebert

    Sabaidee and welcome back to another episode of LEGACIES! I am your host, Danae Hendrickson, Chief of Mission Advancement and Communications for Legacies of War. Today, we are joined by our friend Murray Hiebert, Former Country Director for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and now a top Asia expert and skilled researcher with three decades of experience living and working in Asia. In this conversation, we hear Murray's journey from frightfully cold Canada to the humid heat of Vietnam and Laos in the the last years of U.S. wars. Murray's reflection and life as a pacifist show us that when all you can do is witness and take small steps toward reconciliation and healing, you are actually building the foundation of something much greater -- in this case, the beginning of formal humanitarian demining in Laos.
