May 13th....

[3miao]

In a few days on May 13th, it will be the 36th anniversary of our flight to freedom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laotian_Civil_War (under Hmong evacuation). It started the persecution of our people.  Everyone of us has family members who gave their lives so we may be free.  Let us take this day to remember their sacrifices.  Let us take this day to thank them by making our future better.  Let us vow not to allow this terrible chapter of our history to repeat again.

I ask you to join me in a cold bowl of just rice and water.  Let it symbolize the misery of our people.  Let this be a reminder so that we will not forget.  Let this be our resolve to prevent this from repeating again.

Some are using the 14th because that is the day GVP boarded the plane for Thailand.  What do you think?? 13th or 14th???

Let us remember this tragic day in our HMONG history.  Lets take a moment of silience to remember our fallen father, brothers, sisters, mother, aunts, uncles, and grand parents... 

In time of hardship we are lucky just to  have a bowl of rice with cold water to eat.  Let this cold bowl of just rice and water remind everyone of the sufferrings our people have endured.  Let it be our resolve to not let this to happen again.

3miao, your signature, I pray that is not a reflection of your beliefs.

I knew our brothers have been brainwashed by the Church, but I didn't know it was that bad.

Its not my belief.  Just shining light on the things the church is hiding from their sheeps and their targets.

"On May 14, Vang Pao and Jerry Daniels were evacuated secretly by helicopter to Thailand and the air evacuation came to an end."

There's a missing piece of the history that whoever wrote this didn't catch.  Helicopter didn't take Vang Pao and Jerry Daniels to Thailand.  A porter was use to take them to Thailand because the helicopter didn't have clearance to fly into Thai airspace.
