Friendship Medal granted to American friend who helped thousands of Vietnamese patients

Bearing in mind memory of a stranger's cry, Virginia Mary Lockett, an American physiotherapist, sold her house to move to Viet Nam. Over the years, she has quietly helped stroke and brain injury patients. In recognition of her contributions to protecting and caring for people's health and developing friendly relations between Viet Nam and the United States, the President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam awarded her the Friendship Medal.
