Sam Bunge in Vietnam in 2014. Bunge joined a group of veterans that raised funds and went on to help build schools in hamlets up in the mountains of Vietnam. After the project was completed, the group hired a guide, rented motorcycles and rode around western Vietnam. Though he was deployed in Vietnam for a year, Bunge said he never had the chance to experience Vietnamese culturally. While riding around western Vietnam, Bunge was able to eat at local restaurants and stay at local hotels.
