Kennedy visit to Sayaboury

We all have read how the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy was one of America's greatest legislators. During the early 1960s, he visited Operation Brotherhood in Sayaboury as a member of a Senate subcommittee on refugees.














In this photo (above) provided by Dr. Mila Buenaventura, Kennedy visits Sayaboury, Moung Phieng. And from Joe Barcelona (below) is a scan of an article from Balitang Laos, Vol. 2, Issue No. 20, from Oct. 31, 1965, about Kennedy's visit.




















If anyone has any other photos or remembrances of Sen. Kennedy's visit to Laos that they would like to share, you may add them as a comment to this post or send them to the Webmaster to have them published here on our Web site.
