Following the fall of Saigon, our family fled the country by boat and spent nearly three years in refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines.

My neighbors were Vietnamese when I was a kid. The father was a former South Vietnam Air Force officer. They were great neighbors and the kind of immigration that we benefit from.

Nice letter. But it is an advertisement for an on line business.

Oh, I am not against it. I think it is a clever marketing tactic. But is is still an advertisement and I think it is important to know when you are being pitched.
