Friendship Run Promotes Reconciliation Between Nations
Two American veterans completed a 120 mile Friendship Run from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City to foster U S Cambodian and Vietnamese reconciliation. Clebe McClary who lost an eye and an arm in Vietnam spoke of decades of prayers answered by the trip while Stan Cottrell joined the effort despite heat and blistering conditions. Villagers offered help including ham mocks massages and water as hundreds of children followed the pair along the route. Vietnamese police escorted portions of the journey with no incidents reported.
