“Today I rise to commemorate the 46th anniversary of Black April. =========================== NOTE =========================== April 21, 2021 on Page H2003, second column, the following appeared: (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. KIM of California. Madam Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the 46th anniversary of Black April. The online version has been corrected to read: (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the 46th anniversary of Black April. ========================= END NOTE ========================= April 30, 1975, marked the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam war. Many Vietnamese Americans who were alive during the war remember this as the day that signified the loss of a country they once called home. The people left everything they knew to flee communism. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese people have resettled in the United States and built vibrant communities here. California's 48th District is the proud home of Little Saigon, which is home to more Vietnamese Americans than anywhere else in the United States. On Black April, I will join the Vietnamese Americans in our community and around the country in honoring those who served in Vietnam, and those who lost their lives attempting to flee Communist rule.…”
