Symbol of Freedom Event is All About Relationships

Relationships begin and get shaped in many ways – sometimes they can arise from the unexpected. At the recent Symbol of Freedom fundraising event benefitting CDM Caregiving Services (cdmcaregiving.org). All who attended learned of a relationship that first began between two jet fighter pilots in 1972 in a violent aerial dogfight over Vietnam, but ultimately turned into a close friendship.

It is an incredible story that I won’t attempt to tell in full detail here, but military veterans, USAF Dan Cherry and North Vietnamese Nguyen Hong My came to Vancouver to tell the story of how their relationship evolved from trying to shoot each other out of the sky to spending time together with each other’s’ families after being reunited in 2008 by a Vietnamese television show that was similar to “This is Your Life” here in the U.S.  Dan said he was curious to meet his former opponent but also apprehensive because he really had no idea what kind of person My was.  “What if I didn’t like him?” That all melted away when My came on stage part way through the show, walked straight up to Dan, extended his hand, and said, “Welcome to my country, I hope you and your family are well, I hope we can be friends.”
