Nguyen, Tho V. (Thomas)
Abstract
Thomas Nguyen was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1960. He was fifteen years old when South Vietnam fell. After the war, his family moved to a rural area to cultivate farmland that was then confiscated and made into a rubber tree plantation under the agrarian reforms. He escaped by boat in a journey of six days and nights in 1980. He also speaks at length about his experiences serving as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army and a founding member of the Vietnamese American Armed Forces Association.
