title: An Lam, Difficulties of Talking about the War

description: [profile bio] An Lam was born on February 12th, 1985, and grew up in Da Nang City, in central Viet Nam, where a lot of war activity took place during the American War in Vietnam. Since he was born ten years after the end of the war, he does not have direct experiences from the War; however, having lived in Viet Nam for 20 years, he exhibits the unique perspective of how the war has been remembered by the Vietnamese, in the years afterward. He accredits everything he knows about the war to be from his schooling and his family's memories. During the war, most of his family fought on the American side, creating a conflict for An Lam in school, where the Northern Vietnamese soldiers were portrayed as heroes. Shortly after the war, his aunt fled to the US, and sponsored An's family for immigration to the United States. In 2004, at age 19, An and his parents arrived first in Dallas, Texas to live with his aunt. Two months later, his father decided to move the family to Orange County, California, where they still reside today. An now works as a machinist at Robinson Pharma. His hobbies include swimming, Tai Chi and Aikido.
