It was a meeting 50 years in the making.

On Thursday, American veteran Harold Setser finally came face-to-face with the daughter he was forced to leave behind in Vietnam in 1971.

The late-night reunion took place at Memphis International Airport. Phuong Nguyen and her two sons, Anthony and Steven Van Doan, flew from Connecticut to Memphis to meet Setser.

To say Setser was excited was an understatement, cited WJHL.

“I’m so happy to find my daughter; it’s been a long time,” said Setser. “For me, the war is finally over.”

Setser said he began talking regularly to his new family members through phone calls and video chats, but due to Covid-19, had to put any plans for a reunion on hold.

“It’s super exciting — amazing,” said Anthony Van Doan. “My mom wanted to meet her actual dad and never got the chance.”

Setser said he plans to show his daughter and grandsons Beale Street, and his daughter has also promised to make him some Vietnamese food while they’re in Memphis. He said they have lots of lost time to make up for.

Setser’s youngest daughter Rachel is also excited to finally meet her big sister.

“Last time I saw her, she was this big,” said Setser, holding out his arms. “She’s all grown up.”
