We always called Bui the little wanderer because his mind would drift and he said his feet would follow. Never did we expect to this to happen because of it. He had managed to wander into one of the traps for the Republican soldiers that were set by the Viet Cong and he stepped on a land mine. This was not too far from our home, so I could hear the explosion but I thought nothing of it until we were informed later that day. Up to that day my family and I were avid supporters of the Viet Cong and we were grateful that they were fighting for our independence and our culture, but after Bui had died I found it hard to support anyone. My parents continued to help the members of the Viet Cong in anyway they could and when I was fifteen I even found myself stealing the Republican soldiers medical supplies and sometimes weapons for the Viet Cong
