The Senator is correct. Hmong Special Guerrilla Units actively supported the United States, and risked great loss of life to save downed United States pilots and protect our troops. While the Special Guerrilla Units may have operated in secret, their efforts, courage and sacrifices have been kept secret for far too long. The word Hmong means ``free people,'' and celebrations such as this commemoration will raise awareness of the loyalty, bravery and independence exhibited by the Hmong people.
