Geraldo just reported on a large group of Vietnamese immigrant victoms of Katrina...who were refusing any aid until everybody else was helped.

He said they have been calm throughout, and were a "Sea of tranquility" among the chaos.

Truly a credit to them, as opposed to some of our other "citizens."

I saw that too, they are a fine example of Catholic-Christian citizens who put their trust in Jesus.

If any of them came in the boat lift, or lived in Vietnam, NO must seem like heaven. Plus, they know not to wait on the government for help.

There was a minister in NO who was here in Tn who was on a speaking tour or something. His wife and 2 daughters and dog were still in NO. He went to get his family but his wife who was a nurse stayed behind to help. Fortuneately they all are safe along with the dog. Their picture was in our local paper. A very heartwarming story.

I was just pondering the dignity the Vietnamese families were exhibiting. They are remarkable. There are probably many reasons for their refusing aid until everybody else was taken care of but one might be that they know that lives can be rebuilt and successful after a disaster. They have experienced it first hand themselves when fleeing Vietnam.

This is a story I wish the media would follow up with and not just give it a short mention by G.R. on FoxNews.

I saw that report. Sea of tranquility (and dignity and disciplin) is a good description. I would like to see at least Fox do more on this. Hiraldo should get over there and expand on his report. What a contrast.....

Wow. Now that's class! I salute them.

That's because they are producers - not takers.

I was watching TBN today and the program was showing all the truckloads of food, water, etc that they had on the coast. Why hasn't this been on network news? Operation Blessing donated a lot to those in need.
