Ho Tho . . . A Five Year Old With No Feet |
|
Of the
hundreds of stories I filed in Vietnam having to do with the human
condition and the horrors of war, one in particular remains with me. The story of a
five-year-old boy named Ho Tho. He and |
his father were
the only survivors of an explosion right outside their thatched hut in a
small village in the Northern Province of Quang Ngai. Below is the story I
filed which ran in Stars and Stripes and numerous papers
and magazines in the U.S. I have always tried to maintain an
objective distance from the stories I report, but Ho stole my heart.
