Asian American Guy Who Served In Vietnam War & Mistreated By Fellow American Soldiers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This was a Lost Loved case I watched many many years ago on Unsolved Mysteries but unfortunately I don't have it on tape and have not seen it reaired since. I normally never watch any lost loved cases because 99% of them are outright boring.

But this case was very different and interesting.

It was about this Asian American guy (I think he was from Hawaii) and who was very short statured, only 5'3" or something who served in the US Army during the Vietnam War.

Because he was Asian and strongly resembled the physical characteristics of the Communist Viet Cong guerillas who were battling the US troops, he was picked on, insulted, harrassed, mistreated by his fellow American soldiers.

Some of the cruel instances of his mistreatment.

His money was stolen from his dormitory bunker. It was common knowledge around the US barracks that he was being victimised. This one black soldier offered him money feeling sorry for him.

A US soldier who was serving food for US troops refuse to serve him any food when he was next in the queue and call him insulting disparaging racial names.

A black US soldier stood up for him and defended him & they became freinds.

He was later wounded in combat and many decades later he wanted to find this soldier who had stood up for him and helped him out that many years ago during a very hard time for him.

It must have been a very trying & hard time for him to serve in the US Army during the Vietnam War.

Has anybody seen this case? One of the best cases I've seen on Unsolved Mysteries.

Yes, I have seen this case, and I believe that they were reunited. It was one of the better lost loves that I have seen.
