Let me bring you a bath 1949 November 20th, 1949 between the fitment fought against France in my Village. My mother's and father working in a rice paddy with a cold winter days. My mother's come in the house. Let my father know that I'm ready to land is in our family at the journey from one destination to to us. It's very cold in the winter as we had no hot water not electricity. And most of our own is the war going outside. I was to power baby because my mother was too old. To has another jobs. However, I decided to come to experience the war in Vietnam. My fathers and mothers at like most of my family did not think that I Will Survive but I decided to stay and it doesn't matter what I Will Survive the time we are not on the world what foul between these Vietnam and and friends the not in the South we did. I don't know very much about that. But my mother usually carry me from our village to the city for a couple of days at a young girls. I'm just like a baby know nothing about of anything only thing. I remember the first side in my mind that when we return to our village my home what burns our village have been destroyed by the friends. The first thought in my mind then was that is our daily life. That is the way of our people Tywin by Avila has been burned over sandover's people came to our village is not Vietnamese is black is why it's harder. It's carrying its own kind of thing who tried to help us in a same time try to destroy us. My family usually is it nothing, but just what we can find in the field fish in a pond most of time. We will now with no food and own ways and run to save. Come to 1954 when Independence and now Des that I remember the Vietnam now, it truly become Independence for the people of Vietnam. At that time. I've loved my family's everyone in. My father's I went to knows everyone in my mother's I went to South. To me it just the way of life. Time went by with my brothers in the north one to come back to visit with my family want to contact with my brothers in the nose my sister who married a policeman in the south? Have to move our off. the top for his security Time I've timed over and over Czar who are my family secretly talking about the war now that's broken out between South Vietnam and North Vietnam. My father's usually sitting outside and try to three. What can we do? How would we save our children? So that's everybody come home in one piece. My mother is on another hand thinking how could bring our younger brothers to the notes so that he don't have to fight again his brothers if he Joy this after Republican Army. We have no choice whatsoever. He 18 years old. He have to join the Army North Vietnam Army at that time is out of the question. It's anybody have related with the North Vietnamese. We be tortious we send to cam and a lot of our people put to death because of their relationship Beauty and our family and our children in the North. My uncle's for my mother sighs who had five children who wants of in the South Vietnamese Republican Army. This not plus us this not want to contact with us. Do you not want this to have anything to do with us in the meantime? My uncle's on my father's side because we relate this to our mother side. The my father's side is not trusted us. Did not want to know how daily activity because they're so afraid that we see we will give the secrets to our relative in the Nam. At a young good we group together with children in a village. We apply a war game to add it yet again what our fathers and our mothers Seekers is talking about our brothers and our relative from the north and from the south to us. It's just a game. We don't understand what the inside the hardest of the Mind. Why did they have the sweetest talk and not openly talking to us every time I ask about my brother's they tell me he just went to school and don't ask about him. So we children will play one more game. We have two different group one that we call Vietcong another one because South Vietnamese Republican Army. I have to say at a 10 12 years old girls. I couldn't see I'm both side because my brother also in the north, but my sister married man from the south and I don't want either one get Q I don't want either one of them hate me. I got upset with me or my family. As they most of the time by myself and keep asking how this can be and if it truly the war come to our village. What side would I be? in our school our teachers told us that if anybody that related to Vietcong let him know and we will turn them in and we will receive reward from the government. And I bring that up and I told my father and mother about this the very sad we got their children is my brothers in the north who now call Viet Cong. Then at night the Vietcong come in and secretly talk to my parents who doing what and they want to know all about the villagers are teachers and my father's usually stay away from all of the information who about it or he know about it because he want to live at well. Time come to 1963 after a present an ordinary him. Fascinated at nighttime Vietcong coming more and more to our village. They time to stop Republican come more and more to our village. The one has to be safe from the Viet Cong and Viet Cong come to one ought to be safe from the South Vietnamese. Now we both Vietnamese. We all Vietnamese. Both sides wanted potatoes us both side one to help us one to tell us that they are there to help us. To give us freedom. Give us Justice. If we said to be at Kang now we cannot help you. Then nothing you would know that you down to ground with one ball is on your head. If we tell the South Vietnamese Army that we cannot help you you've been tortures and also you may receive a one ball is on your head. At a young girls that happen every day's going on between our villager with your now uncle or Auntie the people that we love and we have respect. When we had come come at night. They tell us to go to meeting we win we listen to them that they're telling us that Vietnamese. We should save our country for our people with your father again. De France at well at the Republican at well at the US Army first who come in in invest Our Land. To us that is the truth and what we saw we Vietnamese our father and our mother have went through with the friends of others modules or House of rice paddy have been destroyed by the friends over and over and now American who come to you Vietnam, we hardly know them. We thought that friends Who coming back to invade our Land once again, so nighttime only children in the village to get there with a father and mother helped the Vietcong fought against the South Vietnamese Republican and u.s. Force. But as soon as early in the morning, sorry Republican Vietnam South South Vietnamese Republican come to village with the US. We act like nothing happened. We've been selected all night before and now we have to go out there to redo what we did the night before for this at Vietnamese. To us is still a game because it's fun. You tell lie you did you cover up what you did tonight before. Is it game that all children been thought by early age when Vietnam on what fart again friends? So now that is our daily life the Villager that is a way of life. We don't know any difference. So finally in 1964 usually at night Vietcong came with a loud speakers and call everybody come out in due to work and some time old man and woman do to work young children walk from Village to Village. Hold up demonstration again desert Vietnamese. So I've been caught one of of the demonstration that I join you to group of the children in the village. When these are Vietnamese took me to Jail the first time it's not too bad. We Vietnamese, of course. I cannot hold back the scary feeling and try my very best to answer his question then I've been released. the second time and at the time The third time I was with my girlfriend's in one of these. Hold on the ground usually before the Army came to our village the same the Rockets a fun first and we knew that it will coming. So we usually go on the ground try to hide from the explosive. But the same time try to hide from the Army Force the third time that I've been captures by the South Vietnamese. I was 14 years old fourteen-years-old to you at young girls get a kid but to a village your children, we are very smart because we know how to survive we know how to tell lie we know how to tell so we can stay out of trouble. They our told you stay out of these killing that we saw every day. When did gentleman is about my 48 torture me in the cam? I don't hate him. I don't again him. I thought that okay. He older than me. I did something wrong. I be punished by him and that is acceptable. A scale of course and I was more than try to answer what you want to know partly. I knew nothing about the Vietcong. I saw them coming at night and my dad working for them then early morning. They're gone that all my no, but he want more information the tortures in the cam the put the snake in my clothes. That is the way of to get information from a young girls. I'm not the only one going through this many of our peoples are young girls a woman will do this over and over many times while to been captured. After my brother-in-law policeman who helped me to get out of the cam I on a second first time in second time. I came home my family thought that something wrong here because it's I'm the only ones in a family and if I'm not get out of the town, I would be there to like the most of my Playmates. But when the third time that I stays longer in the cam, my mother's would go to her nephew and ask him for help. I don't know how she arranges but I get out of the camp only three days after my character. When I come home from that cam. I thought the Viet Cong will be happy because now that I can work with them. I can help them and maybe Revenge to pay back what I've been through in the can. Just not the case. We got Vietcong now. It has a space that I've been betrayed in them. Tell their side Secrets. Where did they hide out what to do every day in our village still? I knew nothing. I only 14 years old. They're just not believe that I tell to do they did not think that my family truly to be in their size. So therefore they call up the meeting. Which about 20 people around and there's brought me up in the front you like you hear today's and let people know that I've been praying therefore I do and I deserve to die. The Vietcong then took me out. This small place way out. The lake is no houses out there. Nobody lived there. My grave had been dumped before they come and get me my mother cannot join me to the meeting my father still work in a rice paddy and here I walk there with to Vietcong one in the front and one behind me. When my hand what tie a nail my knee down to grave, they asked me to question at the same as the South Vietnamese man asked me in the camp what did information that I give to my enemy. I have no information to give to anybody because I don't know they asking me how can I get out to Camp too soon? I told him maybe my mother's High pay somebody. Of course, they did not tight. That is the answer time went on to gunpoint in my head. To give asking me question about what information are less out in my mind at that moment. I only think about my father's and my mother's I'm not too afraid of dying. I'm not too scared. They're gone, but I'm really concerned How Could my father and my mother live without me? I'm the only children. Did they have at home to help them a no age the worst thing is my father and mother never would know where I'm going to bury. The never will follow my grave out here. So time went on and to get nothing out of me. They decided to take me out of the Grave put me down to ground and Rave me at a young girl in the village. We never heard such a thing. It's we don't know what the draping is. We don't know. We only know we find the war and if you don't do your job you die, but beside that we know nothing about version. We know nothing about the man. That's what he wants before he kill you. So I just less my life take calls. Whatever the Vietcong want to do these people in my Village. I working with them. I fought beside them I cook for them. I heard for them. I did everything to help them. So they life can be little easier and now they treated me this way. It's a very very scary but most of all now that I knew whatever Sia Beyond South Vietnamese and Vietcong, I only know that my father and my mother the only one that love me and want me a life. The rest of us is just a game that we are playing. I hope that they send me home on that particular night. My father and mother knew that if I'm stay longer in our village I will die now it's American come more and more in our village the South Vietnamese Republican Army coming more and more every day's the Vietcong came every night and the hit region are how they stay in our house. And only thing they try to do is to have a fight with the people the caught in the middle that we do not want. It to say no on any side. We did not taken again on any side because we only want to live alone. We wanted to stay alive. We want to see your children together in a Paris around there when we need them. I have to see my father mother knew that I would not survive the send me to dine and after I left and then one days I was in the marketplace and we on boys, but now years old come to me and told me that you must go home your family. It's on been killed last night. I was so shocked to hear that but it's not surprising me. I thought that the Vietcong sent the boy come to tell me this so I can go home so that they can help me and my life will be over for sure. My uncle told me not to go but I decided to I see my father and mothers if they die. I have to find a way to bury them and I have to go to Village when I get to my Village. Of course, that's how my father working in a rice paddy. My mother's was inside the house my father tried to weigh on to win rainfall very heavy. So nobody say that I return to Village and took me into the house so that I can talk to my mother's and she would tell me what was happening when I talked to my mother. She would not tell me anything. She just told me to eat my food and go back to the man and stay there but my father lets me know what was happening the decide Republican Army came to our house because it rained so they stay inside the house when my mother's come from the rice patties. They put her in the kitchen. Tell her to stay there. So the Vietcong can come to our village so they can capture them alive. Of course. My mother had to obey the order sure enough to Viet Cong came to know the village to our village usually people who watching and let them know give the science so that the Viet Cong stay away not coming in the village so that they will be safe. However this day we don't know what happened. We know that the Republican Army be in our house before we know anything about it. So the Vietcong thought that the village was safe. They come in and hear the South Africa Republican Army ready to capture them. My mother saw this the to Viet Cong coming in internal story and she scream instant to Viet Cong came and ran in South Vietnamese short-term one death instantly another one ran away because of that the Viet Cong took my art my mother's out there to get there with notify woman who tied together in a condor coconut tree one by one sought to death because this by because they did not give the say no because they did not do the duty to save the Two fighter. My mother the last one online to be shocked then my uncle turned up an ass. The people at the Vietcong how this is going to be half of our family fought for the South half of our family found for the nose. My mother did nothing wrong to deserve the death sentence like this. So he had the Vietcong to let her go one year browse to give them to her the only good move one yard 100 yard to run our house. She could not talk to any of our neighbors. She could not go into the market. She could not have any communication with all of our relative from anywhere my father you have to go to the markets my father have to do coach job. When I heard this I came home my father related the story to me. He told me okay. Now you go back to the Nan and stay there. But I knew if I stay in the name my father and my mother. We'll be there without seeing them. I don't care about the city. I want to be in my Village. I want to be with my family. Afters, I stays in the village for a couple of weeks The whole story is the same killing burning house destroy the village all the things that we have witnessed through the war with the friends do the world with the South Vietnamese. And American is now is happening daily every mom has it happening. And the Vietcong get very upset with us decide Vietnamese Republican Army upset with us. We could not we could not do anything. But just give our mouth shot do a tweet all try to just live our daily life as normal as possible. But it impossible to live our daily life when we have to Country to governments to side or fought one another's so my father's a permission from Viet Cong that I sure me and my mother have to go away so they give us permission to leave. The village went to Saigon we should not come back on to win the war is over. The first time I've been to Saigon if you're like most of the Vietnamese came to United States 1975. I can relate into that because you know Countryside we know nothing about CD life, except we who are about it. So two years in Saigon only thing that me and my mother can do is to work in for rich people be slave for the wealthy people. We don't know how to cook their food. We don't know how to work the laundry even but we try our very best to get to fight new life and way unto the war is over. I happen to have my first job with my boss who Jaime at a servant and a very wealthy man. And age of 16 I give my first child after work from that. 1937 I heard that my father's had been nearly dead by beating. I told my mother that I have to go back to see my father in the village because I haven't seen him for so long. And because of my presidency he did not accept me back to the family. Even though he loved me very much but at a Vietnamese traditional we could not accept young woman become pregnant without marrying her husband. We got the love for my father's I came back to the village and he was just come back from the jail. He'd been beaten badly here. If he broke free. He had three broken ribs laying on the bamboo mass and told me about the war. At the time I'm 17 years old. I understand a little bit about life about Freedom about survival, but I still don't know how two people can treat one another so me and cruelly when my father's. Later on the bed and I sit next to him with a cup of tea. I asked him that question. I asked him to let me come back to the Village Joy's Vietcong found the South Vietnamese and American together or Joy the South Vietnamese. Tell the Viet. Tell them about the Viet Cong or I don't know what I'm going to do, but I want to do something because I see it too much mystery in my Village in 1965. I left my Village. My Village is the most beautiful place that I know of who have many coconut tree mango tree rice paddy the palm the church the temple that to me is the beauty the love for my Fatherland, but within two years when I return to my Village in sight has seven on that what gone The American troop have come put the base on my Village level 023 villages to bring all the people into our village to be safe from the Vietcong at night and the same time many timers. Nice houses three Pond Lake its own level. I don't know how to describe to you how I feel at that time. I don't know what to say to my father. I don't know what to question to ask him who did it, but it doesn't matter is gone it disappear. I stay in the village for three four days. I walking around to visit with my uncles and the people that I was raised up with most of them it in the grave. Some of them would know all them and no lie some of them starving to death the house when they had a beautiful beautiful home in Northville is now to move into my Village is nothing but a small bamboo share. The living condition is outrageous my heart. I could not accept. the Destroyers in my feelings at well at the suffered by people went to I have the obvious is almost people I come back and I talked to my father's I asked him. Who do you saw this and who beat you so badly? And he told me that the Americas group came to our village and we had a bunker every house had to have a bunker to be saved from the bomb from the gun and from when it both side fighting. So my father's as it showed Americans as we had a bunker there and they send him down the bunker to see any Vietcong underneath there. When he came up and he say it's no VC. They didn't touch you word for word. So they send him back down their daughter hand grenade down there and something happened to couple guy got killed. That is my father fall. Right there put a BT to later VC on his back door. He on the Block took him to get this jail. What your him to nearly dead broken ribs and send him home? I asked him I said who did to you and why he says doesn't matter who did it at longer as you a life. That is the cows. Good 3-4 days in my Village at that time. I could have pretty good idea. Who are we why we here and who give the power to the people is definitely raised different name. To come here and to destroy our country bitch or father. Burn our house over and over again. After I left my Village, I went back to Dan an everyday is I working with America whose is the have best way out the countryside to cannot get to Pierre to buy things or a brain thing to them as Coke souvenir things so that they can board and bring home. It's for the wife. I start to communicate with them and I asking them. Why did they in my country? They say I come here to help you people. To say our country our government send us here so that we can fight the Vietcong and to save you. I still don't understand and I go along with that and I hope that when I can I might their life is easy when I can and try to understand what's going on. For almost two years. I'd even with these American in the countryside at welded in the city. Now the Vietcong asked my father to come to give me the message and tell me to be on the mission bring some explosive to the city. Of course, my father at the time he fed up with with everybody. He's not going to do anything for anybody. He wanted to live alone, but he knew at well that I knew that if he don't take the order he will die. Just like the rest of our village juice. So he came to me and he told me to briefly what the message was and I told him I said if I don't do it you're going to die. He said well, if coming to that point, I'd rather take my own life before they kill me that what he did. So a 1986. No 1968. I have to tell defensive that I didn't work on my mission. I don't know what happened in the my Village, but my father took young life so that I can live on so that other people maybe see the future so that our country man, maybe understand a little bit more about to War. I have to bury my father's in the ground. I knew that my life is over 40 our country because he tries so hard he treats us so many good things. He asked out to live the best way that we can and support our family. But now he gone. From us only thing I have to look after this now is my son. I get involved more and more working for the American. Then I marry to one and I left my country in 1970. After I came to United State Farm out after that my husband passed away and left me two young children to raise. I try my very bad to do you like every one of you drive to do to raise your family and take care of your father and mother's you children in the same time. I'm very lonely. I want to go home, but I'm not US citizen. Yes. Therefore I couldn't go home. So I weighed it and 1975 the North Vietnamese to over the south in the five years that I live in the United States every evening news. Come on TV. Divided Vietnam War about how many people died and send the body back and how many houses have been destroyed and how many building have been Philosophy by the Vietcong? Something else and forgot about the Vietnam. My heart is aging it's to us, you know, when somebody died at least we have a funeral at least we can bear it and properly at like we have a grave for them. But so far eyewitness in the village we did not have that opportunity to bury them. Right way, then this show on the United States if somebody died or somebody short somebody to go to drown to have a lawyer there and you know might be deal out of the one person dying United States in my people over there died for hundreds of thousands of people did only five seconds on the news. But how can I explain this? I can't communicate with anybody. I'm just nobody to tell about the war but after 1975 and notice things genuine my life is to Many Refugee coming over here. And I run in quite a few of the veteran who being into my country before very angry very upset to get tell me that if I have identified the war our bomb and kill everybody in the north and Q everybody in the South. Who would Vietcong then we won the war. And I tried to look at myself as a I'm Vietnamese numb my family pocket in the north my family park during this out and I am Viet Cong and I'm not Viet Cong and if he Q everybody then I have no country. Who would how can I return to Vietnam? But now I have no country anywhere. We got the note that one and now I am US citizen it just no way that I ever see my mother or ever see my country's again. So from 1975 to 1986. I try my very best to help the refugee too tight in the foster children and my home try to heal this emptiness within my soul that a lot my country. I am US citizen. How can I go home and see my Fatherland and visit my mother for the last time before she died. From 1975 to 1982. I didn't hear anything for my family. I don't even know the see a life, but I went to many many cycles and they told me yes, it's still alive and she want to see you my brother came back from the north. Of course, he told my mother don't lie to her don't contact with her. Because we will not accept the enemy. Up to now, I'm not enemy to anybody. I'm just being me I tried to do the best daughter and the better Vietnamese season at well at United States citizen, but because of the way of life is you're too complicated to tell anybody about it, and I only can hold in my heart. So 1986. I typed up a letter to our President Reagan and I make a copy and I send out to from the longest person in our County all the way to the White House I ask them. How can I go back? I want to see my mother's before she died. Nobody ever sponsors. My letter my request finally. I put one layer in my porch and everybody that I met I showed them I said, this is what I want to do. Tell me, how can you help me? One person said well, you better call Un the Vietnamese working in UN in New York. Maybe they can help you and he gave me the number and that what I did is I called him. And I asked him you speak Vietnamese, and he said yes, and I told him that I wanted to go to Vietnam to see my mother and I'm US citizen. What can I do? He said nobody stopping you two going I said, yeah, but the commonest now. And I can't go there. He said who told you that I said, well the refugee told me that and he said you know who you talking to you and I said, no. He said well, I am to come on us. I'm represent for Vietnam. I hang up the phone I said, oh, oh now FBI and CIA and all the people going to come to my house now and God, I'm gonna die now. So two three days, nothing happened. I call him back and I said, okay I want to go and he said okay, I will send you an application and you fill it out and send it back tight me only owned almost two years to get my Visa in the meantime, they went to my Village and asked my mother's about me. My mother said yes, I had a daughter but I believe she died in the South and I don't know anybody that name. We just call her by and I don't know so she just walk away and the man said well, this woman said she was your daughter and he said yeah, I had a daughter but she died. I Told You So they are take me home or two years to get my Visa. I didn't tell anybody that I come back. Before I left to Vietnam I call my attorney over said to get there with my friend my children. And as I everything over to power attorney, I said if April 15, I'm not bad you start to sell this and take care of my children and do everything that I say in the world that you would do. I thought for sure that I never come back to see my three children again, but if I don't go I never see my mother's again without my mother's I could not have my three children. So I have to make a decision at a Vietnamese daughter. I see my mother's because my children will survive with me or without me. But my mother and never see her again therefore I have to go. many many worrying many nights without sleeping I just tried to break the wall many Vietnamese over here. Tell me not to go we could assume that I get off the airport. They will send me to Camp. I've been there before. I told him they told me that your family going to be same to dance. If you go back I said they've been there before it's nothing now just happen to me or my family. Did it never been happened before? So why sure worried so I went When I first landed in Saigon. Defueling scaring Fair the surprised the depressant disappointment the way of the Vietnam that I remembers 20 years ago 15 years ago. It's not a sign. Nobody at the airport the old airplane Rock. Weapon everything yourself off on a side. It's making me recognizes is God. One times in Thompson York airport in Saigon is the business. Airport it is in the world. And now it just nobody you totally did like 50 years forgotten to play that never exist on their toes. When I get off the airplane the heat the people the officer the uniform that they were I thought that I never never get out of this airport my life. But then people stand in line with me and they put up the passport to custom chair and when they saw my u.s. Passport to become very friendly and first question, they ask did you bring your husband back and your children? I thought to myself what is going on here because they see that I'm u.s. ISM and they want me to bring my family back here to visit. Well, I want to know my two week in Vietnam were answering the question. Little by little I travel to The Saigon stay in the hotel go out looking for my son's father's everything. Okay. I have a little more freedom that I never expect it to happen. And afters few day, we get the ticket to the Nan from Dan and from Saigon to the Nan it just like a broke the wall from United States to Vietnam. Now Saigon people didn't know me where I'm coming from what I'm doing before I left the country but in done and people with know who I am and why did I come back now? But I have to our visit with my family my family last my brother's know that I coming back. I don't know what went to he heart and he had but I knew is I'm very happy and very excited to see in him because when he left me I was five years old now, I'm 35 years old with a 31 years. I didn't see him and I'm sure that he happy to see me. Unfortunately he say no. I'm the Communist Party member you Artis capitalist who's come back here to do on you're Missin CIA. Hi you to come here? I never thought of that in my mama's God I'm scared to go there and now I bright do on there too just to see him and at least just to visit with him but no he shot me off. Totally. My mother said in the middle. I'm one side. He's on notice. I and she told him she said look you the oldest son see it the youngest daughter. I don't know how long I'm going to live and it will but I want two of you to start to talking and start to love one another. I see her point. I don't know my brother see her point or not because I travel and journey so far to hear to just doing them. Three days I stay and dine and with my friendly little by little people accepted me back to the family. At that point coming from us live in u.s. Saw what the family and what country and with people in my little Vietnam. I could not tell you how I feel. It's not enough book or not enough pencil and paper that I can write the fueling that I stuck which I have to 3 Union with my family in 1986. To me if I just willing to do something to just to make me happy. I don't think anybody want to stop it mean the best intake and do dome in a jail and torture me or kill me at to death or whatever. It doesn't matter. It's matter that I can do all of these things to bring a new through happiness to my mother's. People around me that they happy to see that I come back I care for the land I care for my people. After I left my homeland in 1986 to return to us. I'm totally a new person. I couldn't take care of my job my restaurant. I care less what happening in my family. I only care. How could I knock that wall down. How could I make a pathway? So that many Vietnamese people can return to Vietnam. How can my people have a little Bree Lolo are little Freedom that they see me at a family and not an enemy. And many days many nights. I try to find a way is only ways this are people over here to understand my country and my people that I have to write it out. I have to tell my story my family my country my tradition.

Have an opportunity so the veterans who serve the duty in my country in a war can go back and see the Vietnam at truly the people in a Countryside never hated them. Never hold anything against them. South Vietnamese people fight in a war for our people Help the People for our freedom our independence same time North Vietnamese and Viet Cong do the same thing. So everybody have interest to fight in the war for the Vietnamese people. Now I truly want to have an opportunity for all of them to go back and say okay, this is Vietnam.
