Via Brian Vu‎ 

Phil Seymour is sergeant of platoon from C, Battalion 1, Regiment Marines, Marine divisions 1 of Hoa Kỳ , he went to Vietnam in May 12 year 1966 and was wounded only 1 months later.

Month 6 year 1967, Phil stationed in a small island near Hoi An – Da Nang, but frequently to the mainland and visit in Hoi An. During such trips, Phil often carrying a little dog behind his backpack.

This dog named Boot Notes, is he at once marched in the forest. At that time not yet weaned Boot.
Every time Phil and team sailing trip to the mainland, the kids in the village rushed to to ask for the kind of “American map” like candy, canning and tobacco. Often US troops will divide these kids in their diets.

Among those children have a name Cam (possibly Cam, Hold…), always wearing blue pajamas and barefoot. Orange flurry as the other kids that stand backwards slightly. US troops initially thought Cam shy, but then they realized that very wise Orange: He was not to apply by hand, which brings local food like coconut, banana, lemon … to exchange. So Cam is being Americans cherish.
