GARDEN GROVE City Councilman and Attorney VAN TRAN is the 1st Vietnamese-American in U.S. History to be elected to a City Council.

In November he will become the 1st Vietnamese-Americn to be elected to a State Legislature in U.S. History, in this case the California State Assembly.

After decades of gaining its Political Self-Confidance I have been blessed to witness this Community's coming of age...

...in FREEDOM.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of his political career. I'm still shocked that it took this long to elect someone from that community.

Then again, it took approximately the same amount of time-say about two decades, or so-for the Cuban emigres to gain a seat at the table in South Florida and the Jersey shoreline.
