According to Mr. Bui Tinh - Chairman of the Tam Ky City Association for the Promotion of Education, Allen Nelson was an American veteran who fought in Vietnam. Before his death, he left a will to use all the money he had saved throughout his life to support students in difficult circumstances in the land where he had caused many losses to the people.

That noble heart shows remorse, responsibility and the desire to make up for the young generation of Vietnam, helping them have better learning conditions to rise up in life.
