Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the legacy of two Vietnamese legends. Nearly everyone is familiar with the story of Joan of Arc, but not as many Americans are familiar with the story of the Trung sisters. Trung Trac and Trung Nhi were born under the Han dynasty in what is modern Vietnam. These sisters were very dedicated to education. They were committed to bringing honor to their family, and they were champions of their people. They are best known for their military exceptionalism. With their help, the Vietnamese people threw off the Han occupation. Today, they are national heroines. They represent the dignity of the Vietnamese people and the fierce spirit of independence that resides in their hearts and in the hearts of all Americans. On March 3, the Vietnamese community in Orange County will honor these two brave sisters. Today, I am grateful to be able to enter their names into the Congressional Record so Americans may remember their courage and learn from their example. Hamas Hostage Noa Argamani
