Channel: Immigration History Research Center
Date: 2014-07-07

Shue-Qa's father, along with other Hmong men, fought with the Americans during the Vietnam War, and the family was forced to flee Laos after the fall of Saigon in 1975.  Shue-Qa's father gave her mother a silver bar when they briefly separated, an item that remains important to her family.  The family later reunited and resettled in the United States.

Immigrant Stories invites immigrants, refugees, and their families to create digital stories about their experiences.  Each story is preserved in the Immigration History Research Center & Archives at the University of Minnesota, where we have collected materials related to immigration in the U.S. since 1965.
