My Culture's Trauma Hidden from History

Thanksgiving 2015 The artifact I will be introducing is my paternal grandmother. My grandmother was one of the strongest woman ever in my whole entire life. She came to the United States to escape from the Vietnam and Secret War with her children and grand children as a widow. She built a foundation with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren here in the Bay Area. I have always wondered what would happen if my grandmother and everybody didn’t come to the US if the Vietnam War and the Secret War didn’t occur. I will be focusing on the history of the Vietnam War and the Secret War. Including to know more about the refugee camps my grandmother and our family members used to be in. And know more about what people have faced in this historical disaster.  The keywords I will be using are #VietnamWar, #VietnamWarDates, #RefugeeCamps, #Immigration, #Laos, #Thailand, #Cambodia, #Vietnam, #Refugees, #IndoChina, #BoatPeople, #Immigrants, #SecretArmy, #SecretWar #Insurgen
