In this episode of Dearest Suzie, Bill Lowie reflects on a typhoon that narrowly missed their base and an impending troop lift to Saigon. This seemingly calm diary entry contrasts with the emotional weight of rediscovered family photos from Vietnam—slides that have become central to preserving and sharing his legacy.
Accompanied by a humorous photo Popi's friends, including his best friend Bud Bender, today’s episode explores the personal meaning behind these images, their role in reconnecting with family history, and the broader questions they evoke about purpose and memory in the Vietnam War.
What’s Covered:
-The narrow avoidance of a typhoon and preparations for a troop lift.
-The rediscovery of Popi’s Vietnam slides and their significance in family storytelling.
-Reflections on how soldiers’ beliefs about the war shape their actions and our understanding of history.
-A personal connection through family slides and sharing stories with younger generations.
📷 Featured Photo: A candid moment featuring Popi's friends, including Bud Bender during their service, blending humor with deeper reflections on the soldiers’ experiences.
