About this episode

Dave Mann shares his transformative journey to Vietnam, confronting his past and meeting the children of fallen soldiers.

In November 2025, Dave Mann flew to Vietnam, a country he'd felt hostile toward his entire life. He met sons and daughters of the enemy’s fallen, and he stood on the same ground where his father died in 1969. When he came home, Dave’s hostility had transformed into something different.
