The diary was found and preserved by an American soldier, Fred Whitehurst, 35 years before he donated it to the Vietnam Center and Archive at Texas Tech University. Officials, with the aid of veteran Tom Engelmann and American writer Lady Borton, were able to locate Tram's family. The diary was returned to Tram's family in 2005.
