    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Richard L. Armitage is a former American naval officer and Vietnamese language speaker who served three combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War. In this interview, he discusses one of his missions, which was to deny the enemy the use of important military equipment such as ships and aircraft, which he was tasked to destroy. He also recalls a plan he made with Captain Do Kiem to arrange for the evacuation 30,000 South Vietnamese officers and soldiers and their families on over twenty ships--without the explicit consent of his superiors. He is particularly proud of the educational success of Vietnamese Americans. He also mentions his opinion of why the South Vietnamese lost the war, including the history of colonialism and US backing of the French, the nationalist backgrounds of Ho Chi Minh and other Northern leaders, South Vietnamese political corruption, US politics, and the inability to gain public support, based in part because of the decision to implement a counterinsurgency tactic that required too many American forces on the ground.<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Vo Van Bang was born in the city of Hue, Thua Thien, Vietnam, where  he later served as council member. He was present during the early stages of the Tet Offensive of 1968. He recalls hearing gun shots from the North Vietnamese Army and fleeing to another district to escape the communist onslaught. He later returned to Hue to look for his wife and children. A year after Hue was free from conflict, he helped to organize a committee to search for the missing and the dead. The organization discovered mass graves and counted over 3,000 deceased, which they subsequently disinterred for identification and reburial. The graves included government officials, civilians and foreigners who either had their skulls crushed, were buried alive, or were suffocated. After the Fall of Saigon, he was put into a reeducation camp for eight years. He came to the United States in 1994. He  shares his hope that future generations will know, understand, and learn from his experiences. <br />
