Melissa Armstrong, lives in the state of Oklahoma, USA, raised by her father, Howard D Aliff, who served in Bien Hoa, Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict. He came back from the war as a different person and lived with post-traumatic stress disorder.
He also kept a secret, an Amerasian son named “John” that he fathered during his time overseas. The Vietnamese mother, he met in Bien Hoa.
After Howard died away in 2018, Melissa discovered old photographs of her father with a Vietnamese woman and their child along with a doctor or caretaker.
Stunned Melissa realized the secret her father took to the grave, a half-brother who would be over 50 years old now. She also realized how the internet and an organization called Father Founded might be able to help solve the mystery and help her find her him.
So, she began the search for the child left behind with just a few clues…her father’s full name: Howard D Aliff II who served in the United State Air Force as a Technical Sergeant, Sgt ( E-4 ), at Bien Hoa Air Base in 1970 and 1971.
I hope you enjoy Melissa’s story. Remember to share, comment, like and if you have any information that might help with Melissa’s search, please contact Father Founded at the fatherfounded.org website.
