Hi Dan ! Thank you for your service , sir!
My grand father'd served for ARVN for couple of years until war ends.
I have never forgotten these people Phuc! So kind! So grateful! Proud! Back then, when ever I/we entered a Hmong village I went directly to the elder(s) and asked permission to trespass through their village. Of course in a manner of good faith, I would present cartons of cigarettes, liquor, other items in a show of respect and appreciation for their indulgence. They were gifts!
The elders gave us anything and everything we asked for, or might desire, without hesitation as a friendly gesture back! We were their guests!!!
Thanks again!

All Vietnamese people, native or otherwise, are a proud people! Your Countrymen that escaped the Communist regime after the war and came to America have done very well here. An asset to our Country and Vietnam.
I have a bond with your Country.
Thanks Again!!
