On the recordApril 10, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate a very solemn occasion that has great significance for my constituents. I am proud to represent Orange County's little Saigon, the largest population of Vietnamese anywhere outside Vietnam itself. Each year, the community observes Black April, a time to reflect upon the tragic fall of Saigon, remember the lives lost to Communism, and recommit ourselves to the struggle for freedom. As co-chairs of the Congressional Vietnam Caucus, I am proud to join Congressman Lou Correa to introduce a resolution commemorating Black April and honoring the lives lost. I am also introducing a resolution to ensure that those who fought for freedom in Vietnam are always remembered by proposing a bill to rename the U.S. Post Office in Westminster, where a large portion of my Vietnamese constituents reside, as the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial Post Office. With these two actions, Congress will stand in solidarity with the Vietnamese community, showcase our resolve against Communism and tyranny, and reaffirm our commitment to freedom and democracy. April 15 is Tax Day
