The world could use a few more like this lady.

Do Thi Kim Hong, a 50 year old nurse, borrows money from friends and personally scours Vietnam and digs to find the fathers, brothers and sons of the nearly 300,000 Vietnamese who remain unaccounted-for.

She has found 1,000 so far. North and South, it doesn't matter, someone was waiting for them to be brought home.

Disabled from the war when a US bomb killed all 18 of her co-workers and left her paralyzed, she regained some health, relapsed in 1977, remained hospitalized until 1986 when she snuck out of the hospital and began her search. And for as many men as she has found, she still hasn't found her father who disappeared in Cambodia during the war. It's too far and she hasn't the resources to make the journey.

In stark contrast to official US government efforts that have the money, materiel and manpower yet fail to produce significant results, this singular woman says, "It's hard for me to explain why I have pursued this so long. My conscience kept pushing me even when I didn't have money."
