Good news! Thanks for the post.
Van Tran is a true American.
Good news bump.
The man is a class act.
The Vietnamese-American are STRONGLY anti Communist and very much on our side...At the Reagan viewing (repose) at the library there was a very large contingent of Vietnamese vet's all in dress uniform
Hey, AIT, after moving back from Kyoto to Hunt. Beach, I personally voted for this guy. I went straight ticket Repub. If anyone has ever ventured into northern Orange County, they know it is dominated by millions of Vietnamese. At Golden West College, a Huntington Beach junior college, they are the racial majority of students by 60%. I think 'Little Saigon' itself is a bigger population of Vietnamese than even Hanoi.
I used to volunteer to tutor Vietnamese in English at he aforementioned college, and some of the labor camp stories that I heard from the older generation were horrifying. 15 years hard labor for owning a bicycle store, etc.
Congraduations Van Tran and the Vietnamese community. One of the most conservative ethnic communities in America!
I would also add that there was a very large group of Vietnamese who participated in the the Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention in Boston this past summer.
