Honoring our Hmong Veterans

Lyfoung played an integral role in 20th century Laos . He opened the doors to public education and knowledge for the Hmong people, and all his life he fought for the integration and civil rights of all ethnic minorities in Laos.

    “In our desire to express our frustrations with the conflict in Vietnam, we targeted our young men who served there.

    In a very real sense, we did not separate the war from those who fought it. "Unknown"

    “The least any of what these men did was their duty and for this they should be proud.”
