Many of the older male members of the groom's family were members of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVNs = South Vietnam) during the "American War".
One was a "Vietnamese Boat People" (above pic) who lived in Germany for 25+ years and then immigrated to Los Angeles (he now has duel American/German citizenship, speaks fluent German, English, French & Vietnamese!). He was in the ARVN in Pleiku when I was there in 1966. He, I and 3 other ARVN vets (who never "escaped Vietnam") really enjoyed talking with each other. <-- it is indeed a very small world!
