April 30 we will commemorate the 46th anniversary of Black April and the Fall of Saigon. On this day we are reminded of the pain of losing your homeland and the sacrifices made in the search for freedom from tyranny. When Saigon fell in 1975, thousands of families were forced to flee their home or be brutalized in reeducation camps. Today, the refugees of Vietnam are proud Americans who are a very important part of our community and our country. The United States must always be a beacon of hope to those without hope. We must continue to stand up for human rights and religious freedom around the world. ____________________
