Fathers Day at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall

Clip: Season 2011 | 2m 33s

Every five years, sons and daughters of the fallen come together to wash the Wall.

Michelle Baugh lost her father to the Vietnam War when she was only three months old. When she was 19, she began a journey of discovery and healing that would lead her to an organization called Sons and Daughters In Touch, whose mission is to locate, unite and provide support to Sons, Daughters and other family members of those who died or remain missing as a result of the Vietnam War.
