Funeral services begin tomorrow for Private first class Kham Xiong, who was killed in the November 5th shootings at Fort Hood. Two days of traditional Hmong services will be followed Monday with a military funeral at Fort Snelling. Xiong will be the second active duty Hmong soldier to be buried at Fort Snelling. A number of prominent officials will be attending the funeral services, including Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Hmong General Vang Pao. Lee Pao Xiong is the Director of the Center for Hmong Studies at Concordia University. He says the Hmong community is expecting large numbers of people at the funeral because of the high-profile nature of Xiong's death.
