thank you for sharing. i am one of the many boys, born in lima site 15, been to lima site 20 (sam thong), lima site 20 alternative (the most secret place on earth, long cheng), lima 08 (wattai airport), and lima site 272 (banxon/naxu), then eventually escaped to thialand in december 1977 and became refugee in nongkhai refugee camp until 1979 and october 1979 seek asylum here in america due to the persecution of the secret war. i was lucky enough then after got to this country less then 6 years and in 1986 signed up to join the us navy. after high school, i went to naval training center in ssan diego, ca in the summer of 1987 and served 5 years. did my time at naval air station miramar unitl november 1990 and got an order to report onboard the uss missouri (bb-63). did one tour as a combat medic during the persian gulf war. got out of the us navy in summer of 1992. life is truly amazing!

The Laotians (large group at work) that I met were among some of the nicest people ever. I am proud of them as true Americans. This is coming from a perspective of admiration and not sympathy. My grandpa and I would watch the B52's fly out, on their way to Vietnam, on what seemed to be all day long ( surely not), so long ago. Oblivious to the true meaning, or was it meaningless? Yet "THEY" still kill in the same old way, whether "we" like it or not, and we get the blame for not stopping it. I left the Navy, "San Diego", in 1986 , after my 5 years, 3 months and 17 days. Wish I would have stayed, because the US wasn't killing people, "generally"(Not to consider "Proxy wars") in the internment of what would have been my stint. I toured the Missouri when I guess it was still in mothballs. I was on the Big O "O'Callahan", they restored it, rented it and then sent it to China to be shredded up.
