title: Le Ly Hayslip, The Special Gift of Suffering

description: [profile bio] Born on December 19, 1949 in the small town of Ky La in Central Vietnam, Le Ly Hayslip was the sixth and youngest child in her family of farmers. At the age of 12, American helicopters invaded her village, and at the age of 14, the South Vietnamese government prison tortured her under the premise of "revolutionary sympathies." Soon after, she was raped by two Viet Cong soldiers. She then fled to Saigon, where she and her mother worked as housekeepers for a wealthy Vietnamese family. After she had an affair with her employer and became pregnant, she and her mother fled to Da Nang. She then met and married an American civilian contractor named Ed Munro, whom she had another son with, and together they moved to San Diego, California. After he died of emphysema in 1973, she married again to Dennis Hayslip, with whom she had her third son. The couple filed for divorce in 1982. In 1989, Hayslip published her first and most popular book: ""When Heaven and Earth Changed Places: A Vietnamese Woman's Journey from War to Peace."" In it, she talks about returning home to Vietnam in 1986 to see her mother and siblings. Today, she lives in Los Angeles, California, with her three sons. She is a founder of two charitable organizations: East Meets West Foundation and Global Village Foundation. Through these two foundations, she hopes to rebuild cultural bridges between Vietnam and America. [profiler bio] Jack Zang is a senior majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Accounting.

description: [profile bio] Born in the US in 1946, Bob Holmes graduated from UCLA and was commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant by the time he graduated (although he skipped the graduation ceremony). Commissioned as a combat engineer, Bob left for Vietnam in 1970. He began his service at a base camp in Saigon in July and ended it a year later in July of 1971 with the 1st Brigade, 5th Mechanized Division in the Quang Tri province in the city of Quang Tri on the DMZ.

Bob was in Vietnam with top secret security clearance due to his role as staff engineer to the Army Security Agency. His job included planning and programming construction and conducting major repairs for the radio research field facilities which intercepted electronic signals throughout the country. He was then transferred to an independent mechanized infantry brigade and became an intelligence operations officer.

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.
