title: Mai Nguyen, They Killed Our Country

description: [profile bio] Mai Nguyen is a survivor of the American War in Vietnam with a unique perspective and a compelling story. Ms. Nguyen was born in 1957 and lived in Saigon, Vietnam until her escape in 1980. Ms. Nguyen and her family were South Vietnamese who witnessed the American military influence and considered them a good symbol to keep Vietnam intact from communism. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, Ms. Nguyen witnessed first hand the oppression brought by communism and the elimination of freedom. In 1980 she decided to escape with her baby boy to international waters. However, in her escape, she became part of what is called the "boat people" and she encountered a hard and arduous journey. Pirates held up her boat various times, people around her were mugged, raped, and beatenâ€”fortunately her strong will and faith in God saved her. Upon docking she arrived in Thailand as a refugee. Later, she moved to Canada, opened two successful restaurants and has been an anti-communist activist for the Vietnamese Community ever since. Ms. Nguyen later immigrated to the United States and her transition was also not easy. However, after confronting hardships in America she finally found peace. Mai Nguyen now resides in a beautiful neighborhood in Anaheim, California having raised two successful children. [profiler bio] Joseph Donaway is a senior majoring in psychology.

title: Minh Nguyen, America Is My Country Now

description: [profile bio] Minh Nguyen was born in Saigon, South Vietnam in 1948, growing up during a momentous time for Vietnam - the French were leaving and the US was coming in to take their place. In 1966, Minh joined the Vietnamese navy, where he served as a medic until the end of the war. Serving in the navy, he helped fight the North Vietnamese in a battle in the province of Ca Mau from 1968-69. Despite being active in the war, Minh still found time to have a family life, marrying his wife Hiep in 1972. After the war, Minh spent three and a half years in a re-education camp where he was forced to do hard labor, including going into the jungles to collect dead bodies and clean up debris left from the US bombing campaign. In 1984, four years after being released from the re-education camp, Minh and his family came to the US after his brother, who was already in the US, found a sponsor for Minh. Minh, Hiep, and their three children now live in Moreno Valley, CA. Special thanks to Janet Nhan, who connected us to her uncle, Mr. Nguyen, for this interview, and for translating his responses.

title: Tien Dac Nguyen, We were Just Happy to Get Out

description: [profile bio] Tien Nguyen is an engineer for the United States Navy based in Port Hueneme in Oxnard, California. He was born in Vietnam and served in the South Vietnamese Navy alongside Americans in the Vietnam War. Mr. Nguyen was a college student when the war began and he was forced to leave school to join either the army or the navy, and he chose the latter. Tien served on a fiberglass patrol river boat with an American supervisor patrolling the Mekong River. The experience brought him many engagements with the Viet Cong and was deeply scarring for him. His service on the Mekong River caused him post-traumatic stress for around ten years after the war. After the war, Tien Nguyen spent over a year emigrating to the United States, with stops in Singapore, a refugee camp in the Philippines, Guam, and finally Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California. He then took several jobs earning almost no money while trying to learn English and finish college. Mr. Nguyen finished his college at Cal State Long Beach and took an engineering job with the United States Navy, a job that he still holds. Mr. Nguyen married in the United States and had a son who is a student at USC and a standout on the USC Tennis Team. Mr. Nguyen considers himself an embodiment of the American Dream.

title: Long Pham, The Positive Side of the War

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.

title: Van Luong, Escape from the North

description: [profile bio] Van Luong, of Chinese-Vietnamese nationality, was born on November 3, 1973 in Haiphong, Vietnam. Her grandfather owned quite a large amount of land and spoke French, so was quite well-off until in the 1950s, it was seized as part of Ho Chi Minh's land reform. The political climate in the years immediately following the end of the Vietnam War was extremely volatile. War between the Chinese and the Vietnamese appeared imminent and Van Luong and her family had to flee. They boarded a boat for China with a host of other refugees and ended up at a refugee camp there for 30 days. From there, her family was split up into different camps around Hong Kong. After 18 months, one of Luong's uncles who made it to the United States in 1974 sponsored her and her family's trip to America and they arrived on October 30, 1980. It was difficult at first, but they eventually adjusted to their new life. Now residing in El Monte, California with her 4 children, Van Luong has "a great life thanks to my parents having the guts to make the choices that they made."
