"In 1966, after the battle “Operation Indiana,” Vietnam War veteran, Bob Frazure came upon the body of a North Vietnamese soldier. A small, red diary lay on the soldier’s chest. Inside, Bob found a photograph of two young women. With mixed emotions, he’s held onto the diary for 46 years. Marge Garner of Missouri brought the diary to History Detectives for her friend Bob. Marge and Bob ask Wes Cowan to find the soldier’s hometown and return the diary to his family. This History Detectives investigation became part of a profound international exchange, a first for History Detectives. In this case, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta returned the diary of a fallen North Vietnamese soldier to Vietnam’s Minister of Defense."
