Tran, Tuyet

Tuyet Tran describes the hectic last days before the Fall of Saigon, her escape by airplane to the refugee camp of Guam, and her life adjusting in the United States. She recounts her struggles raising three children in a new country, learning a new language and studying and working to regain credentials as a pharmacist while her husband Duc Tran, regained his medical license. With luck, gracious and supportive sponsors and advisers, and with determination and hard work, she gained her pharmacy degree and worked for thirty years in this capacity. She hopes that the second generation will acknowledge the hardships that her generation endured, and value their heritage, culture and language.
