"In America, the sky is the limit," Nguyen said, when asked about his motivation for his odyssey.
"I always have a dream that I would do something bigger than myself to reflect my love.
I only want to thank America and honor all those who serve." A U.S. citizen, he was born in Vietnam in 1969.
Nguyen was, in his words, a "war baby," the son of a man he never knew, an American soldier, named Rodriguez.

Nguyen always carries an American flag and has a sign strapped to his back displaying his message:
"Shore to Shore: A Walk Across America to Honor Those Who Serve."
