Tank Man

Dear all,
I am back in Chattanooga after a brief but very full trip to California. The trip home brought into focus the fact that I have just under a month left of this particular season of life in Tennessee before heading back to California. It will be sad to leave this wonderful place and the people here. I plan to soak up the experience in the weeks to come.

In August and September, I will be traveling to Japan and Myanmar with my old friend and Volunteers in Asia founder Dwight Clark and a group of university students he is leading. I will be writing more about that program as the trip approaches.

I mainly wanted to share this link to the "Tank Man" clip from the Tienanmen protests of 1989 that many of you will be very familiar with. I have watched it a dozen times in the past few weeks. There is also a fascinating 8 part video on YouTube called The Tank Man. A truly moving moment of history.

All the best,
Chad
