title: Michael Rank, College Student at War

description: [profile bio] Michael Rank is an associate professor at the USC School of Social Work. He was an infantryman in the Vietnam War, from 1969-1970. Dr. Rank was a senior studying accounting when he decided to drop out and volunteer in the Army to fight in the Vietnam War. His choice to go to Vietnam was out of curiosity and also to make a difference. He wanted a change in his life, because as he puts it accounting wasn't for him. His father was a World War II veteran who became anti-war later in his life. As a young man Rank participated in both anti war protests as well as pro war protests. He knew about Vietnam as a country but despite research he couldn't understand why Americans were fighting in that part of the world, so he wanted to see for himself. In Vietnam he was chosen by the Department of Defense to be an infantryman. He was stationed in Chu Lai. When he came back from the war, he attended Bloomsburg University majoring in Sociology. He then went on to get his Masters in social work at Bryn Mawr College and a PhD in the same subject from the University of South Carolina.

description: [profile bio] Long Pham lived in Saigon, Vietnam until he was 9 years old. On April 29, 1975, he and his family fled the country on a boat to a refugee camp in the Philippines. However, his dad didn't leave with Long's family because he had another family he had to take care of in Vietnam. Long enjoyed his time during the stay in the Philippines and he maintains a relatively happy mood throughout the trip. From there, he transferred to Wake Island for 2 weeks before a group brought them to Camp Pendleton near San Diego. Afterwards, he moved to Downey and started to assimilate into the American community. Since leaving Vietnam, Long went back twice, once in 1994, once in 2015. He seems to feel like a tourist back in his home country and he thinks the communist vibe is still very strong in the country. Today, Long is very thankful for the US because of all the help his family got when they left Vietnam. He is happily living in America and he has a very positive outlook in his past experiences.
