Where in the World is Mr. Alford?

Although the view from Cape Byron, New South Wales, was truly amazing and Mr. Alford's time in Australia was painfully short, he and his ravishing wife Jenny are quite happy to have moved on to a country on north side of the equator that has a very interesting, albeit violent history with the United States. In fact, Mr. Alford and Jenny feel quite fortunate to even be in this country on the Indochina Peninsula as the United States only normalized relations on July 11th, 1995, thus allowing Americans to visit this culturally rich and fascinating country.

Mr. Alford currently stands near the mausoleum of a famous military and political leader who can be credited with leading his country in victory over the French occupation in 1954, and later in defeating the Army of South Vietnam, who were heavily support by America, and reunifying the country in 1975 under a communist government. This national landmark is located on the exact spot where this man once stood and delivered this country's declaration of independence on September 2nd, 1945.
