Neal Pointer was drafted on Christmas Eve Day of 1969. He began a one year tour in April, 1971 in the Republic of South Vietnam, as a combat photographer.
Once again, Neal was drafted – this time to write a blog about his experiences during a very special Habitat for Humanity Global Village trip. This is a blog about the fourteen short days when 20+ US Vietnam veterans joined together to build a Habitat home for a widowed mother of two girls in the Province of Tien Giang, city of My Tho, Vietnam.
After volunteering for eight years building Habitat houses, Neal believes that affordable houses should be an opportunity for all deserving families around the world, not an unreachable dream.
Here’s Neal at a Veterans Day celebration at Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. (Neal is the old guy in cammo!)
