My trip to Vietnam this last March was inspired by the late Patrick Lucero, a nineteen year old soldier who died in Viet Nam in 1967. Later this year the East Side library in Pueblo will be named after him. I will be the manager there. Shortly after Patrick’s name was being considered for the library I found out another library built in Ba Long Commune in Quang Tri province had been named for Patrick and opened on September 11, 2010. I found this out through a chance meeting and association with a Seattle based organization, PeaceTrees Vietnam, whose mission is of peace and compassion.
