What Matters to Me and Why: Viet Thanh Nguyen 3/2/2022

[@Heart_on_Fire1]

Great storytelling. I fled Vietnam by boat at the age of 14 in 1981 to come to America without my parents and was placed in a foster care system. I had to learn to be mature very quickly on my own and appreciate what America offers. I joined the Navy right after college in 1990 and retired after 30 years of service. I was a devout Catholic growing up in Vietnam and drifted away from my faith when I came to America but had a profound conversion experience 16 years ago, so I am now a born-again Catholic.
