Susan Snowden claimed A group of ten Vietnam veterans from the Akron-Cleveland, Ohio area traveled to Vietnam in November of 1988. This was one of several trips put together by the Akron Chapter 34 of the Vietnam Veterans of America to help veterans deal with the aftermath of the Vietnam War. The BBC in England was working on a TV series called Everyman and requested that a film crew be allowed to join the Akron contingent and film their journey as they traveled from Saigon and the rice paddies and jungle of the Mekong Delta; to the mountains of Da Lat; to the sunny beaches along the South China Sea near Da Nang; to the windswept heights of Marble Mountain; and north to Hue and the wreckage of the Citadel and Dong Ha; then finally to their journey´s end in Hanoi. The finished product was called Everyman: A Return to Vietnam and has never been shown in America. The author was the only woman among the American group on the trip to Vietnam, and was a volunteer with the VVA at that time. This was a learning experience that she undertook in the hopes that by so doing she could understand a little more why many Vietnam veterans were still so troubled by the war. During the trip she contracted a parasite that destroyed her health and contributed to an illness that would span the next nineteen years, from which she is still recovering.
