Kat, congrats.

I think that there is a bit of an analog in your telling of this story through mom's narrative. As you state, mom is the unsung hero as the strong undercurrent to our lives and this ongoing storyline. I would say that you have been in much the same stead. Your work, your countless hours of toil, have been to the benefit of many, and much to myself. Thank you.

Aloha

Chris

Always, yes Always! Thank you for this labor of Love. Your courage, commitment and tenacity in documenting this historic time will be an edifying and heartfelt true story of what happened in the lives of so many…our family, the Vietnamese people and the many Americans and all nations and people who it irrevocably impacted. Blessings to you, and again thank you.

Your sister Marina
