On the premiere episode of FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, Nicole and Tiffany recount their mother's story about Vietnamese communist troops fighting in her town, and how it changed their home.Note: Though the Viet Cong were technically defeated during the Tet Offensive in 1968, remaining VC troops were integrated into the North Vietnamese Army. For our parents, all communists troops were referred to as Viet Cong (as it literally translates to "Vietnamese Communists"), instead of the NVA. In this episode, we have also adopted this terminology.
