The history of Vietnam and the history of Vietnamese-Americans is a history bathed in tears, a history of unbearable suffering but also a history with a proclamation Of hope.
We fully understand that the practice of faith, which includes fighting for social justice, advocating for the oppressed, for the poor, for the elderly, all of that is encompassed in religious faith.
Staying faithful to the principles that make our nation great, we will fight for the rights of those who do not have a voice.
What transpired in Vietnam after the Communist takeover could only be described by analogously linking the tragedy of Vietnam to such unconscionable events in human history as the Holocaust, the Killing Fields and the Great Purge.
