To his annoyance, US war veteran Mark OConnor forgot his Make America Great Again cap for the 8,000-mile journey to Vietnam, where he hoped Friday to clasp the hand of his hero Donald Trump, undeterred by his draft dodge and mocking of fellow serviceman John McCain.
O'Connor, a 67-year-old former infantryman who fought in the Vietnam war, said he had one message for his president, who arrived in Danang Friday for an APEC leaders' meeting.
