Put to work on NRA project before enlistment (0:01:16) Father had own business during Great Depression- a gas station Didn’t follow World War II before Pearl Harbor Got accepted into Navy three days before 18th birthday. Preferred the Navy because he was told conditions were better than in the Army Joined the Navy because he went to the movies and saw people with legs and arms missing, and he figured that in the Navy he had better chance at this not happening (0:08:10) Training • • They went to Great Lakes Naval Station in Chicago, then to Navy Pier where he learned different types of engines. He then went to Navy Submarine School in New London, Connecticut. (0:09:10) While he was there he was in Spritz’s Navy. He considers this tougher than the Marine Corps. They had to perform many different tests which eliminated many men very quickly. About 1 in 10 men were accepted into the submarine corp. Eye tests, coordination tests, and other tests were given to the men. (0:11:55) Active Duty • • • • • • • After training, was assigned to Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. They built submarines there. While the USS Icefish was being built, he went to school to learn about submarines. (0:13:15) Ship went through Chicago River on a barge, then down the Mississippi River. He met the ship in New Orleans, and was on leave while the boat was en route. Proceeded though Panama Canal and then were bombed for first time. (0:13:45) Was in forward engine room when this happened. Ship was travelling on surface. They were bombed by American aircraft. Pilot of Aircraft made error. 53 American subs were lost during the war years Was a good feeling for him to be underwater, he said it was like being in a whale. (0:17:25) Sailors had to get used living conditions. (0:18:15) During the first encounter with Japanese, a depth charge attack drove them to exceed crush depth by 100 feet, which was a very dangerous situation for crew of the sub. He was not able to talk about this experience until recently, and �• • • • • • • • • • • was unable to do interviews because of it. He considers himself to be very lucky to be alive. When he was discharged, was told to go home and forget everything, and to not accept interviews by the Navy. The USS Icefish sprang 231 leaks after depth charges. They sank to point of sub creaking. They were down very deep. He had to fix the leaks in the engine room during this process. He does not remember being afraid, just saying “They’re trying to kill us!” All of the leaks were stopped in less than two minutes, and they were able to get to neutral buoyancy, and they had to wait for surface to be clear. They were hit directly several times, and were forced to use salad oil in hydraulics on way to Pearl Harbor to repair. He remembers the sounds. When a depth charge hit water, sound man would yell “splash” and then they could hear the detonator on the depth charges click right before the explosions. Destroyers looked for subs with sound gear. 72 men and 10 officers were on the ship. There were three watches, and two officers mess cooks. (0:27:17) Twenty percent of the crew changed with each run. He was transferred once to Relief Control 42, but this was only on paper. Ended up staying with the Icefish. Really liked the Australian people. They had Sunday dinners when they were in Perth with a family. (0:32:55) They spent time in different ways. They did 4 hours in and 8 hours off. They could do different things, he studied in his spare time, became officer. He could have been a first class officer, but instead decided to return to Grand Rapids, MI to help his father with his filling station. (0:34:50) His station on the surface job was to load the 40mm gun on the top of the sub. In one instance, a plane had spotted some lifeboats. A small Japanese ship had tried to get the men in the lifeboats, and when they saw the sub they retreated to shore. Guns on the shore attempted to aim at the sub, but the aim was too low. They were ordered to not harass Japanese fishing ships unless they had contraband. They sunk a troop ship with 6000 Japanese, and he saw many different troops jump off the ship. The Japanese depth charged them anyway, likely killing more Japanese soldiers than doing any damage to their sub (0:44:30) They were told to proceed directly to Pearl Harbor once the war had ended and the peace treaty was signed in Tokyo. When they reached Pearl Harbor, they were told to proceed directly to San Francisco. (0:45:30)After the war, they were sent to San Diego to train the sonar people. (0:47:30) Post-Service • • • • He decided to come home from the service after his father had a heart attack He was told by the Navy not to talk about their experiences until the 1970s when the information was declassified. He kept in touch with some of the people on his ship. He took over the station. He got married when he was 29 years old. �• • • He worked as engineering company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Then worked for an appliance store, then owned a mobile home park, and then worked for the Postal Service. He enjoyed his time in the Navy, and he says that it prepared him for the future well. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Growing up his family worked as farmers. When he was a child, he lived in the French controlled area. He spent twelve years in school, and graduated high school. After high school, Che joined the Army. (02:29) Like many other Vietnamese kids, he felt that he had to do something for his country. He joined the Army in 1962. Military (03:00)        Upon joining, he chose to go to officer training school, which lasted one year. There he learned how to lead and fight with different units and learned about the different ranks. After school he graduated as a lieutenant. He was stationed with the 46th Regiment located in the center of Vietnam. At that time, the Viet Cong and the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) were very strong. The NVA and Viet Cong would often hide in the high mountains and in the jungle. Che served with that unit for four years, from 1962 – 1966. After that he was discharged from the Army. Second Enlistment (06:57)            He then lived in Saigon and worked as a teacher. Che worked as a teacher for about one year. In 1968, after the Tet Offensive, he rejoined the Army. He was in Saigon when the Tet Offensive began. (8:42) His new unit was stationed around Saigon, and he served as the company executive officer in a combat unit. (10:16) His unit was involved in many battles. When his unit was fighting, they had new weapons that were similar to those being used by the American units. He only remembers one battle, which was his last. He rejoined the Army in 1968 and stayed in until 1975. (12:34) In his last battle, at An Xuan Loc, he was the Battalion Commander. When he fought the NVA and the VC, his unit was very successful and won many times. �              After 1968, the NVA and VC were drawn out into the cities, so they did not have to fight in the mountains or in the jungles. (15:03) Che was promoted to Battalion Commander in 1972, at the battle of Au Loc, after his commander was killed. His battalion took the airfield in [Quan Long], afterwards a Lieutenant General awarded him a Bronze Star with V. (16:47) The men who served under him were good soldiers who fought very well. Towards the end of the war, his unit had difficulties getting supplies, sometime after 1973. The United States promised supplies to the South Vietnamese Army but Congress would not approve, so they went without. (18:50) In his last battle, they fought for twelve days. They defeated three divisions of NVA there. Che and his men destroyed 37 T-54 and PT-76 tanks that were being used by the NVA. (20:32) Che only had one division of men versus the three divisions from the North, and yet the South won the battle. The North had far better supplies than the South. His battalion held the mountain called Che Mountain, with an artillery battery of 155mm. They needed to stop the attack from the north. They were attacked from all sides, and were attacked all day long, but they could not break through Che’s lines. (22:52) At night, they sent Sappers to infiltrate his lines. In the end, the NVA realized they couldn’t win the battle or take the position, so they decided to go around. (24:51) When the NVA changed their plan, Che was ordered to abandon An Xuan Loc and moved back to protect Bien Hoa. They remained there until the war ended. Prison Camp (26:00)           After the surrender of the South to the North, the men were ordered to stop fighting and go home. Che arrived home and was later arrested by the NVA and put in prison. (26:19) He was home for about a month before the NVA came for him. The prison camp was separated by rank, he was with the majors. He was transferred many times. The treatment that he was given while at the camp was very bad. (28:39) The re-education camps were used for revenge against the South. They were told they were just puppets for South Vietnam. Che was forced to perform hard labor, including going into the jungle to cut timber, plowing fields and farm work (31:16) The prisoners were not given enough food, and were always very hungry. He would get a bowl of rice once a week; his family was able to send food later on. He never had any contact with the people who lived around the camp. (32:49) Che also did not receive any medical care while there. If someone would get sick, there was no medicine available for the person. Many of the prisoners died while being held there. At least 8-10 men died that he knew. (34:00) �Released from Camp/Civilian Life after the War (34:23)      Che was there for five years, and was released with a group of other prisoners. He was married in 1968, and he had three children. While in prison, his wife had to manage the family and care for the children by herself. Che feels that he was treated worse than some of the other prisoners because he was an officer that fought for the south. Once released from prison, he began working as a tailor. (36:25) Che had many troubles with the local police, every week he had to report to the local police as to what he did everyday. He did this for three years. After the three years, he was only required to report in every two weeks, then once a month and finally they forgot about him. Coming to the United States (37:40)        He found out that he could go to the United States through a military program, so he applied and waited about two years before he was approved and could leave Vietnam. They left Vietnam in 1992 and went to Detroit, Michigan. The family chose Detroit because Che had a friend that sponsored him to come. Che brought his entire family with him. (39:42) Adjusting to the United States was very easy, because of the many opportunities to find a job and educational opportunities for his children. Learning English was the hardest part. Looking back to his military service, from 1969-1972 he went on many missions with the United States Army. (41:30) Che also had military advisors attached to his unit. He had a good relationship with those Americans. When he arrived in America, Che began working as a painter. Today, two of his children graduated from university and two graduated from college. One lives in Florida, one lives in Chicago and the other two live with him in Detroit. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

many of Nguyen’s father’s comrades within the party were captured and killed by communists (00:00:18:00) o When he moved south, Nguyen’s father moved to Saigon, where he met and married Ngueyn’s mother (00:01:04:00) o In 1948, Nguyen’s father became a member of the Vietnamese National Army, which was a newly-established army (00:01:48:00)  At the time, the French Army still remained in Vietnam and assisted in training the soldiers in the Vietnamese National Army (00:01:49:00) o Nguyen's father received his discharge from the Army in 1954 (00:02:01:00)  After Vietnam divided into two states, Nguyen’s father worked to bring his family from North Vietnam into South Vietnam with his Army unit (00:02:19:00) o Still, it was a relatively peacefully time, so Nguyen’s father was given his discharge from the Army to become a farmer, although he had to rent the land he worked on (00:02:37:00)  Nguyen grew up on the farms where his father worked, growing rice (00:02:53:00) o Growing up, Nguyen attended public schools from elementary until high school before studying mathematics and general physics at the University of Saigon in 1966 (00:03:50:00)  At the time, Nguyen and his father supported President Diem but after Diem died, Nguyen and his father no longer supported the military government; therefore, in 1966, Nguyen did not have a desire to join the South Vietnamese military because he did not respect the generals leading the Army (00:04:23:00)  At that time, Nguyen and his family knew that the international communists wanted to promote Communism all over the world (00:05:30:00) o Through his relatives who had escaped from the North, Nguyen knew about the Viet Minh; as well, his mother was originally from the Mekong Delta area and when Nguyen’s family would visit his mother’s family, they would see communists in the Delta who were very brutal (00:05:47:00)  The communists in the Delta made everyone fear them; if someone did not fear them, then the communists would visit the person at night and would either kill or capture the person (00:06:11:00)  During 1966 and 1967, Nguyen was in Saigon, so he saw many American soldiers there and although he did not like their presence in his country, Nguyen knew that the South Vietnamese needed the soldiers there (00:06:55:00) o Still, the Americans soldiers treated the local Vietnamese very well (00:07:29:00) �  During the North Vietnamese’s Tet Offensive in 1968, Nguyen witnessed a lot of fires and smoke all over the city as well as dead North Vietnamese soldiers laying on the ground (00:07:48:00) o At night, the North Vietnamese would launch rockets into the city, destroying buildings and houses, as well as killing a lot of people (00:08:20:00) o Nguyen felt bad about this and it helped him decided to enlist in the South Vietnamese Army (00:08:30:00)  However, Nguyen was allowed to keep going to school because he was the only son in his family and his parents were both over sixty years of age (00:08:44:00) After he enlisted, Nguyen spent four years at the National Military Academy, which was divided between two “seasons”; during the nine month “study season”, Nguyen he learned mathematics, science, military technology, and history while during the two-anda-half “military season”, Nguyen trained in military combat (00:09:05:00) o Most of the schedule used at the Academy was borrowed from the American’s West Point Military Academy and there were numerous American advisors at the Academy who came from both West Point and the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland (00:10:06:00) o Although combat turned out to be different from what Nguyen was taught at the Academy, basic things were still the same (00:10:36:00)  Some Vietnamese Army officers had been in combat and they taught the students at the Academy (00:10:50:00) Deployment (00:11:06:00)  Nguyen completed his studies at the National Military Academy and joined the Army as another major North Vietnamese offensive was beginning to wind down; Nguyen ended up taking part in only a single battle from the offensive (00:11:06:00)  At first, Nguyen was assigned to be a reconnaissance platoon leader in a scout company in the 25th Infantry Division (00:12:00:00) o Within Nguyen’s platoon, there were three teams who would be dropped in the jungle to look for the enemy and gather information about them (00:12:30:00)  The first time Nguyen was in combat, the province where the fighting took place was largely jungle and when Nguyen and his soldiers went into the area, they were scared because a large communist unit was the area (00:12:59:00) o Fortunately, Nguyen and his soldiers did not find the communist unit and the communist unit did not find Nguyen and his soldiers (00:13:22:00) o Sometimes, Nguyen and his soldiers deployed by helicopter but most of the time, they had to walk into an area because after the Paris Treaty, the war slowed down (00:13:36:00)  In the beginning of 1974, Nguyen became the commander of an infantry company in 2nd Battalion, 46th Brigade, although it was still in the 25th Infantry (00:14:13:00) o A standard infantry company was supposed to have one hundred and sixty-one members but a scout company had one hundred and twenty-seven members; when Nguyen joined his new infantry company in 1974, the company had a full complement of soldiers (00:14:41:00) �    o However, the fighting Nguyen faced with the infantry company was different than what he experienced with the scout company; with the infantry company, they were fighting against much larger enemy units (00:15:08:00)  In the scout company, the soldiers were just looking for intelligence about the enemy (00:15:22:00) On some occasions, the scout company was placed into situations where it required the entire company and Nguyen remembers on one occasion in January 1974, the company was in a camp when the enemy brought an entire regiment to attack them (00:15:57:00) o Nguyen was wounded for the first time during this fighting (00:16:38:00) o During the battle, another South Vietnamese unit reinforced the scout company, which was fighting the entire enemy regiment by itself (00:16:57:00) o By this time, the South Vietnamese were not receiving any air or artillery support from the Americans, who had left; when he came out of the field, Nguyen saw that all the American support was gone (00:17:14:00)  Nguyen only saw a B-52 bombardment two or three times but that was the extent of it (00:17:28:00)  Nevertheless, Nguyen managed to receive support from South Vietnamese units, who had taken over the roles of the Americans (00:17:45:00) Most of the soldiers within Nguyen’s units were from all over South Vietnam, although there were a few from the North (00:18:05:00) o The ages of the soldiers range from eighteen year olds to soldiers who were in their thirties (00:18:32:00) o Only a few of the soldiers actually wanted to be in the Army but because it was war time, all the soldiers needed to be in the military (00:18:51:00) Nguyen’s soldiers did have contact with local Vietnamese civilians but in the three years he was in combat, Nguyen and his units very rarely went back to a base; when he was commander of the infantry company, Nguyen returned to base one time to check on supplies for the company (00:19:14:00) Around the time Nguyen took command of his infantry company, the communists began increasing their attacks, forcing Nguyen’s soldiers to fight all the time (00:20:20:00) o Nguyen remembers that in one year, he and his soldiers went on between ten and twenty individual combat operations, which was a high number (00:20:39:00) o However, not too many of Nguyen’s soldiers became casualties; Nguyen recalls that around twenty of his soldiers were casualties (00:21:24:00)  One time, when three soldiers were killed, it was considered a large number of casualties (00:21:37:00) o While Nguyen was in command of the company, the fighting varied; sometimes, the communists would attack Nguyen’s company and sometimes, Nguyen’s company would look for the enemy (00:21:56:00) o The enemy soldiers were armed with Kalashnikov rifles, grenade launchers, 107 mm and 122 mm rocket launchers, and 130 mm howitzers; the enemy had an entire artillery regiment of howitzers (00:22:06:00)  On the other hand, Nguyen believes that his soldiers had better weapons than the enemy soldiers; as well, Nguyen’s soldiers also had more ammunition than the enemy (00:22:44:00) �   However, after the Paris Treaty, the American military aid was reduced, forcing Nguyen and his soldiers to conserve every bullet and every piece of equipment (00:23:17:00)  When the enemy launched their final offensive, they had upgrade their weaponry to include SAMs (Surface-to-Air Missiles) and TOWs (AntiTank missiles) (00:24:01:00)  Although Nguyen and his soldiers also had access to TOW missiles, they did not use them because the missiles were too expensive; on the other hand, the enemy were able use TOWs everywhere and not just against tanks but also against South Vietnamese soldiers (00:24:24:00) o On some occasions, Nguyen and his soldiers worked with South Vietnamese armored forces and in June 1974, when the enemy launched an attack, Nguyen’s larger unit included a company of ten armored vehicles (00:24:49:00)  However, the armored vehicles were only able to stay in one location because the soldiers did not have the fuel necessary to move them to different locations (00:25:33:00) o At one point, the North Vietnamese occupied the 22nd National Highway and although Nguyen does not know the exact number of North Vietnamese units that were there, it took his entire battalion to re-open the highway (00:26:24:00)  During the re-taking of the highway, Nguyen’s company was designated a ten kilometer section of the highway and the soldiers had to fight the North Vietnamese forces in that section (00:26:43:00)  The land on both sides of the highway was largely rubber plantations and Nguyen and his soldiers had to fight the North Vietnamese positioned in the plantations (00:27:02:00) o During this time, the soldiers in Nguyen’s company did their jobs well; all the soldiers knew that they had to fight because if they did not fight, then they were going to die (00:27:31:00)  Although a few soldiers did desert from the unit, the vast majority stayed to fight (00:27:55:00) o During the fighting, Nguyen did not know what was going on in the other parts of the country because he did not have access to newspapers or radios (00:28:23:00) o On several occasions, superior officers visited Nguyen’s unit to relay orders, after which Nguyen would have to address his soldiers about what they needed to do (00:28:48:00) o In this period, the soldiers had some supplies, but not a lot; their food supplies consisted of a small amount of dried food, so the soldiers had to cook rice (00:29:31:00) The first time he was wounded, Nguyen’s unit was in a base that came under a mortar attack; when he stood to guide his own 82 mm mortars, an enemy mortar round exploded behind him, sending two pieces of shrapnel into Nguyen (00:30:19:00) o However, the shrapnel wounds were minor injuries and Nguyen returned to his unit rather quickly (00:31:06:00) When the North Vietnamese launched their final major offensive in 1975, Nguyen had just led his company in the re-taking of the 22nd National Highway (00:31:32:00) �o However, Nguyen himself was in the hospital because a wound sustained from a rocket launched out of Cambodia (00:31:54:00)  As Nguyen was standing, he heard the sound of the rocket approaching, so he laid down and the rocket exploded about ten meters away from where Nguyen laid (00:32:08:00)  Although Nguyen laid down, his helmet was still high and debris from the explosion hit Nguyen’s helmet, breaking the helmet and knocking Nguyen unconscious; Nguyen also received a shoulder injury but the injury was not as serious (00:32:21:00) o Nguyen spent more than a month in the hospital going through surgery for the injuries to his head; only a small piece of shrapnel went into his head but another piece went into Nguyen’s ear (00:32:56:00)  Nguyen stayed at the hospital and waited to go in front of the medical committee, who would decide whether or not he could return to combat (00:33:30:00)  When the war ended, Nguyen was still in the hospital (00:33:50:00) Post-War Life / Reflections (00:34:05:00)  When the war ended, Nguyen went home because when the communists came to the hospital where Nguyen was staying, they ordered everyone to leave; Nguyen saw wounded soldiers wrapped in badges unconsciously riding in a pedal-taxi (00:34:05:00) o While in the hospital, Nguyen overheard a conversation that the communists could kill anybody who could not get out of the hospital (00:34:34:00) o Once out of the hospital, Nguyen went home to see his family and going to the Mekong Delta to see his mother, which was where the communists captured him and placed him into a re-education camp (00:34:56:00)  When Nguyen first left the hospital, the communists knew who he was but they did not care at that time (00:35:29:00)  The communists arrested Nguyen because at that time, if Nguyen had stayed home until June, he would have been fine but because it was in May, he did not have to proper paperwork (00:35:38:00)  Everyone who was a former South Vietnamese soldier was captured by the communists if he tried to go somewhere (00:36:19:00)  When the communists first captured Nguyen, they brought him a camp along the Mekong River, where Nguyen stayed for eleven months; while in the camp, Nguyen and the others received an education about communism and were also labeled as “betrayers” and “American servants” (00:36:43:00) o The communists also wanted Nguyen to confess to something criminal that he had done but what Nguyen and the others described was not criminal, so the communists did not believe them (00:37:43:00) o After eleven months, Nguyen and the others were moved to another camp and at the new camp, Nguyen had to work (00:38:10:00)  Although Nguyen mostly dug canals, some of the prisoners had to clear mines while others had to build barracks and get supplies for the communist forces (00:38:35:00) �  o While in the camps, the prisoners did not have enough food and the did not receive any medical care from the communists; however, the prisoners were able to grow a few vegetables alongside their barracks (00:39:17:00)  In 1977, Nguyen’s family was able to begin visiting him and when they visited every three months, Nguyen’s family brought food with them for Nguyen (00:39:49:00)  Nguyen had married in 1973 and he and his wife had a daughter; while Nguyen was in the re-education camp, his wife lived with her family (00:40:04:00) o In the second camp Nguyen was sent to, the prisoner population included not only soldiers but regular criminals and political prisoners as well; the regular criminals were treated differently than the soldiers and political prisoners (00:41:03:00)  The former soldiers helped each other but the regular criminals did not have help from anyone (00:41:27:00) o While out on the work projects for the camp, Nguyen rarely had contact with the civilian population in an area; although Nguyen saw the civilians, the communists did not allow the prisoners to have contact with the civilians (00:42:13:00)  Nguyen remembers when he and the other prisoners moved from one camp to another in the back of a truck, someone rode alongside the truck on a motorbicycle asking where the prisoners had come and where they were going, as well as throwing some food for the prisoners (00:42:47:00) o Nguyen was finally released from the prisoners in February 1982, almost seven years after he was first captured (00:43:43:00)  Nguyen believes the reason the communists released him was form international pressure; at some point, Nguyen heard about the negotiations between the United States and Vietnam over the prisoners (00:43:59:00) After he was released from prisoners, it was almost another eight years until Nguyen immigrated to the United States (00:44:26:00) o During those eight years, Nguyen continued living with his family and working in various jobs, including producing clothing and rubber bands (00:44:34:00) o After Nguyen was initially released, local officials made trouble for him because they knew he was a political prisoner; however, Nguyen’s wife bribed the officials, making Nguyen’s life easier (00:45:07:00) o The products Nguyen and his family produced were legal but when they wanted to sell them, it was illegal because they could only sell their products to the government; however, there was no profit in selling to the government, so they tried to sell them on their own (00:45:33:00)  However, if the government caught them trying to sell the products, then the government could confiscate all the products (00:45:34:00) o During this time, it was hard for Nguyen and his family to survive than before the communists came (00:46:54:00) In 1985, Nguyen’s uncle who lived in the United States sent Nguyen a letter, letting Nguyen know about the negotiation between the United States and Vietnam and expressing hope that Nguyen and his family would immigrate to the United States, with Nguyen’s uncle as their sponsor (00:47:07:00) o Nguyen finally left Vietnam in February 1993 (00:47:38:00) �   o When Nguyen tried to emigrate, officials from the Vietnamese government required Nguyen to fill out paperwork as well as pay some money, although Nguyen does not remember the amount; before Nguyen’s family even got an interview, they had to spend money (00:48:07:00) o Once Nguyen left Vietnam, he flew directly to Michigan because his uncle was living in Michigan (00:48:55:00)  While in high school and in the prison camp, Nguyen learned some English, although he did not study any English while at the military academy (00:49:17:00)  When Nguyen immigrated to the United States, he brought five members of his family: himself, his wife, his daughter, and two sons (00:49:48:00)  After about five months in the United States, Nguyen managed to get a job working as a lathe machine operator (00:50:01:00) o In Nguyen’s mind, the most important thing he had to do was support his children and help them to become good citizens, so he helped send them to college, with one in medical school and one in law school (00:50:41:00) o The most difficult thing for Nguyen to learn in the United States was what to say because some Americans spoke too fast for him and then he had to take time to try and understand what they had said (00:51:23:00) o When he arrived in the United States, Nguyen saw that the Americans were goodhearted and they helped Nguyen and his family when they arrived (00:51:52:00) If given the opportunity, Nguyen would return to Vietnam to visit but so long as the communists are there, he would never go back (00:52:10:00) The experience that Nguyen always remembers the most about his time as a soldier was the battle of Thai Neigh (00:52:55:00) o During the fighting, the North Vietnamese sent two divisions, including artillery and armored units but the South Vietnamese only had a single brigade and two local battalions in the town (00:53:11:00) o The battle lasted for ten days and although the fighting was very hard for the South Vietnamese soldiers, they were successful in their defense of the city (00:53:45:00) o In this battle alone, Nguyen saw that at least one hundred North Vietnamese soldiers died (00:54:13:00) o After the ten days, the North Vietnamese forces withdrew and the South Vietnamese intelligence let the soldiers know that a North Vietnamese general had been killed in the fighting, which caused the withdrawal (00:54:34:00) Nguyen wants it to be known that the Vietnamese appreciated the assistance provided by the Americans during the war (00:56:15:00) o However, Nguyen also feels that the decision by the Kennedy Administration to remove President Diem led to the collapse of the South Vietnamese (00:56:28:00) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

his family’s lives were not prosperous but they were okay (00:00:32:00) o One of Nguyen’s cousins eventually went to Saigon to study and become an engineer while his other cousin went to France to study; Nguyen’s aunt was a landlord, meaning she had money to send both cousins to school (00:00:55:00)  During the time Nguyen lived in the rural country, the Vietnamese were fighting with the French, meaning the villagers needed security for their homes (00:01:34:00) o Nguyen began going to school in 1949, when the French set up an outpost near their village to take care of security (00:01:54:00) o Nguyen and most of the other children in the village ended up going to the school at the outpost, which was about two kilometers away from the village; the children walked there everyday and some other children in the school had to walk farther (00:02:14:00)  Everyone had to walk to go to places because, at that time, they had no means of communication or transportation (00:02:37:00) o Nguyen went to the French school for four years before going to My Tho for high school, where he lived with his uncle-in-law (00:03:07:00)  Nguyen was too young to remember any of the fighting between the Viet Minh and the French, partly due to there not being any form of communication in Nguyen’s region; they did not have radio or even newspapers (00:03:51:00) o He does recall going to his neighbor’s and hearing about the Viet Minh victory at Dien Bien Phu; everybody in Vietnam loved that victory because they wanted to drive the French out and gain independence for the country (00:04:11:00) o Both Nguyen’s uncle and father-in-law left to fight with the Viet Minh; both men were gone for about two years before returning and Nguyen does not know why they left the Viet Minh (00:04:41:00)  Nguyen attended high school from 1953 until 1962; after graduating in 1962, he went to Saigon to attend the university for dentistry, but only for a year (00:05:33:00) o However, Nguyen could not make any money to live as a student, so his uncle-inlaw, a policeman in My Tho, told him to put in an application with the police force, which he did (00:05:51:00)  When he was attending high school, Nguyen had his first opportunity to vote, which he did for Ngo Dinh Diem (00:06:34:00) o After the election of Diem, social life in the country was very good; everyone had easy lives to lead and things were good (00:06:48:00) �o Nguyen only knew a little about the communist efforts in South Vietnam, mostly because he was not interested in the political issues; he does remember one group, the South Vietnamese Liberation Front, formed to fight against Diem’s government (00:07:28:00)  Nguyen remembers being told the group was directed by communists from North Vietnam (00:07:57:00) o Before he joined the police, Nguyen knew very little about the communists, although some of his friends in the village did leave to join them (00:08:24:00) Police Service (00:09:02:00)  When he applied to join the police, Nguyen’s uncle-in-law wrote a letter which made joining easier for Nguyen and after turning in the application, Nguyen had an interview in the central police headquarters in Saigon before he was hired (00:09:02:00) o Nguyen received the first part of his police training, which he received in 1963 at a police center in Vung Tau, consisted of learning about: law enforcement, police administration, fire-marshal techniques, and the communists (00:09:45:00) o The training lasted for twelve months and after the first section, the trainees attended special courses at another police center in Saigon; the trainees also practiced at several different police centers all over South Vietnam (00:10:33:00)  Two weeks after completing his training, Nguyen received a job offer as a police officer; however, the job was working as a secretary (00:11:18:00)  Nguyen eventually got a job working in the My Tho police department with the special forces before moving to the uniform police then on to police administration and the judicial police (00:11:47:00) o He spent four years with the special police force as a secretary and eight years working in the other branches of the department, including time at the police center training others (00:12:12:00) o Nguyen spent most of his time working in an office, meaning that he did not have a lot of contact with the communists, although there was a lot of communist activity in the area, namely bombings at different public locations, including: markets, schools, and shopping malls (00:12:49:00)  Nguyen finally came to the conclusion that the communists did not care about the lives of people, they cared about defeating the Republic of Vietnam (00:13:42:00)  In 1967, Nguyen got a job working for the judicial police in [Mokwo] (00:14:05:00) o When he went to Mokwo, Nguyen had to take an American plane because the Viet Cong controlled the road to Mokwo; because of the flight, Nguyen had some contact with Americans and he found them to be very good, kind, and fervent in their duty (00:14:21:00)  One day, Nguyen talked with a GI who had come to their office and he describes the American as being kind and honest; the soldier had been in college before joining the military and Nguyen viewed him as not only a man of the United States, but as a man of the world (00:15:06:00)  Because the Vietnamese have their embassy in the United States, people have forgotten just how bad the Viet Cong were and Nguyen believes teachers must show their students this fact and to not let them be deceived by the Viet Cong (00:16:01:00) �    o No one can imagine what the Viet Cong think and do because Americans are kind and honest; Americans know very little about the Viet Cong because the door was almost shut (00:16:43:00) o The Vietnamese government owns the radio and television stations, as well as the newspapers, so the news they give is not always the truth (00:17:12:00) In 1968, during the Tet Offensive, fighting with the Viet Cong spilled over into Nguyen’s province (00:18:39:00) o One day, they gathered one hundred people inside the police station to fight against the Viet Cong; during the night, Nguyen slept in a ceiling-less bunker and during Viet Cong shells, he was nervous because he had no ceiling (00:18:52:00)  During that night, none of the shells hit anyone (00:19:35:00) o The next day, the police officers went out of the police station and Nguyen saw numerous Viet Cong lying in fields; however, other Viet Cong hide with the population and the men had to search for them (00:19:58:00) o After the offensive, Viet Cong activity in Nguyen’s region slowed down a little but they still sent mortar rounds into town every day (00:20:51:00) Nguyen did not get much information about the conflict in other parts of the country because his duty was to deal with the conventional criminals in the region (00:22:16:00) o It is hard to say whether there was more crime in South Vietnam or in the United States because the United States is so large with a large population (00:22:49:00) o Not many crimes actually happened in Nguyen’s province (00:23:11:00) The communists eventually defeated the South Vietnamese government because the South Vietnamese government did not do good work for the people (00:24:01:00) o After the Diem government collapsed, the following government was good in working with the United States, not in managing the country (00:24:26:00) o Nguyen figured it would take the communists two or three years to defeat the South; in actuality, it only took a year after the withdrawal of the Americans for the South Vietnamese government to fall (00:25:09:00) o The South Vietnamese government could not stop the communist advance partly because the United States cut off aid to the South Vietnamese government, meaning the South Vietnamese did not have enough ammunition or gasoline to continue fighting (00:25:32:00) At the end of April 1975, the communists came to Mokwo to seize the police headquarters and when they did so, the police officers did not fight them (00:26:35:00) o After they took everything from the police headquarters, including: weapons, ammunition, and money, the communists placed all the police officers in prisons, what they called “re-education camps” (00:27:11:00) Re-education Camp (00:27:46:00)  Nguyen was originally kept in one camp in [Veitang] and in 1976, the communists chose to move some of the men; Nguyen was not chosen but those who were ended up going to a camp in the North (00:27:46:00) o From Veitang, most of the prisoners moved to another camp in [Kin Nam], where Nguyen stayed until 1982 (00:28:12:00) o Nguyen originally went into one small camp while other prisoners built the main camp (00:28:54:00) �  o While at the camp, the prisoners had to attend a discussions with the communist leaders of the camp, who took turns teaching (00:29:09:00)  One day, the speaker said that their country was very rich in natural resources and that all they only had to dig into the ground to find metal sheets to put on their roofs (00:29:26:00)  Another day, the speaker told of how a North Vietnamese pilot flew into a cloud, turned off his engine, and waited for an American plane; once he saw an American plane, the pilot turned on the engine and rushed out to attack the American (00:30:05:00)  The communists also tried to say that the police officers and the government were the enemy of the people and in the classes, they explained their reasoning for the distinction (00:31:04:00) o Apart from police officers, there were also prisoners from the South Vietnamese Army as well as common criminals; however, the groups were divided into teams: the political team and the criminal team (00:32:24:00)  Neither team spent time with the other, which including having different rooms for different teams (00:32:57:00) Nguyen married his wife in 1971 when he worked in Veitang and when he went into prisoner, his oldest son was two years old and his wife was pregnant with their second child (00:33:09:00) o When he was in prisoner, Nguyen’s house was seized by the communists and his family was ordered to move out without any of their possessions (00:33:46:00) o His wife eventually went to live with her mother in the city, who shared not only her home, but also her business with (00:34:08:00)  Every day, they purchased different products, including rice and meat, and transported to Saigon before returning with different products, such as pest control items and chemical fertilizer (00:34:22:00)  The two women had to keep their business deals secret because if the communists found out, they would confiscate all the products the women had purchased (00:34:55:00)  At the time, it was difficult to make enough money to survive (00:35:22:00) o The officials in the area knew Nguyen had served with the former South Vietnamese government and his wife had a hard time with the communists, in particular, their neighbor (00:35:43:00)  When the communists came to his house in Veitang, they saw pictures of Nguyen’s father but not a picture of Ho Chi Minh; when they ordered her to take down the pictures of Nguyen’s father, she protested because of her pregnancy but the communists persisted (00:36:02:00)  They persisted because Nguyen had the label of being an enemy of the people (00:36:28:00) While in the camps, the communists wanted the prisoners to confess that what they had down before imprisonment was wrong (00:37:01:00) o One day, they wanted the prisoners to write out what they had done wrong in the past; Nguyen did write it out because what he had done was not as bad as some of the other things (00:37:22:00) �      The communists said that if prisoners did not tell the “truth”, their time in the prison would be prolonged (00:38:35:00) o The communists gave good speeches and on some occasions, Nguyen was moved by a speech; however, the more he lived with them, the more Nguyen realized that the communists deceived him (00:38:51:00)  At first, Nguyen and the other prisoners believed what the communists said, but over time, they began to see things differently; what the communists said was different from what they did (00:39:41:00) Nguyen did have some contact with his wife while he was in the camps; after about two years, Nguyen was able to contact his family and request supplies (00:40:07:00) o Nguyen’s wife would send him food but never rice because if she sent rice, that meant the government was not feeding the prisoners enough (00:40:32:00) o The prisoners had to labor every day and they only received one and a half bowls of rice at lunch and dinner with a little bit of meat, usually pork, or fish and vegetables (00:41:10:00)  When he first got to the camp, the piece of pork was the size of a finger, but over time, its size slowly decreased (00:41:38:00)  The quantity was so little that the men in the team agreed to collect all the meat for one day, usually six pieces for the seven men, and only one person received meat that day; the prisoner who received the team’s meat ration rotated between the men and on their days without meat, the men only ate rice (00:41:59:00)  However, because they received supplies from their families, the prisoners felt better (00:42:49:00) o The criminal prisoners never received supplies from their families, which meant most of them died because of hunger (00:43:06:00)  The political prisoners, like Nguyen, did share some of the supplies they received from their families with the criminal prisoners (00:43:16:00) When in the camp, the communists took anyone who had worked in a hospital and put them into a separate team to take care of the other prisoners (00:43:36:00) o The prisoners had to go around the country looking for “medicine” and if anyone got sick, then they went to this team; however, there was no medicine comparable to the medicine available in the United States (00:43:49:00) The political prisoners survived in large part due to the supplies they received from their families (00:44:35:00) When the prisoners were first arrived at the camp, the communists told the prisoners that in three months, they would be released; however, after the three months, nothing had happened, to which the communists said that after one year, the prisoners would be released (00:45:09:00) o The communists later increased the amount to three years and continued to lie to deceive the prisoners (00:45:31:00) One time while laboring, the prisoners were ordered to turn a twenty hectare forest into rice fields using tools and equipment made by other prisoners (00:46:01:00) o Once they had cut down a tree, the prisoners had to carry it on their shoulders back to the camp, about five kilometers away (00:46:22:00) � o After the forest was cut down, the prisoners were ordered to dig up the roots of the trees, which they also had to take back to the camp to use as burning material for the prisoners (00:46:36:00) o When the forest was completely gone, the prisoners had to prepare the soil fir the rice and the one machine in the camp that made the process faster kept breaking, so the men had to prepare the field by hand (00:47:04:00) o The labor force in the camp was too large, so some of the men went to other areas to work and earn money for the leaders of the camp (00:47:55:00)  To get to the other jobs, the prisoners had to walk through areas loyal to the communists; when they asked for the water, the villagers told them to get it from the wells themselves (00:48:12:00)  About two years later, when the villagers saw the prisoners in the distance, they left food and meat on the road as a gift; the people had realized that the communists were cruel (00:48:45:00) The men labored and waited until their name was called in a meeting; they heard a little about U.S. government assistance but they could not do anything (00:50:18:00) o The prisoners were released one right after another, not as one large group; every six months, someone else was released (00:50:51:00) o Nguyen does not remember anything special happening when his name was called, only being happy to hear it called (00:51:26:00) o Before he went into the camp, Nguyen had a golden ring that the communists took and when he asked for it back upon release, the communists said they could not find it (00:51:37:00) o In his release papers, the communists had written that he was born in rural village but Nguyen knew that if he went back to the village, the communist control would be very strict; instead, Nguyen told his wife to bride the communist officials to change the papers so he and his family could got into the city (00:52:20:00) Release / Immigration to the United States (00:53:07:00)  Upon his release, Nguyen lived with his wife and children in My Tho (00:53:07:00) o Whenever Nguyen’s wife visited him in the camp, she brought the children with her (00:53:24:00)  During the first two years after his release, Nguyen was under police control; every month, he had to go to the police station where police officers marked his appearance in a booklet (00:53:40:00) o Nguyen was not allowed to travel outside the province and was expected to participate in various public affairs, such as cleaning up the streets or working at a collective farm, but with no pay (00:54:09:00) o Every day, Nguyen rode a bicycle six kilometers to work with his sister planting rice and if there were no jobs in the field, he worked with a friend repairing bicycles (00:54:45:00) o Nguyen worked in the public jobs every three months and each jobs lasted for about ten days (00:55:38:00)  In one public job, Nguyen worked at a collective farm for ten days; however, when he was supposed to go for the second section, he bribed the leader of the farm to not have to go (00:55:47:00) �    At the local level, the communists chose people from the area to be the officials; at the city level and higher, the official was from the North (00:56:37:00) According to Nguyen, the communists did nothing good for the people; the good things they did do were for communist party members and their families (00:57:27:00) o When building a bridge or repairing a road, the first thing the communists did was think about how much money they would receive (00:57:40:00) o Since the communists controlled the country, they practiced suppression of the people; the communists did not care about the people’s happiness or their lives (00:58:06:00) Nguyen made his way to the United States in 1992, meaning he spent ten years under the communist regime (00:58:40:00) o In 1988, Nguyen heard word about a departure program organized by the U.S. government and one of Nguyen’s friends gave an application to the U.S. embassy in Thailand, who helped raise the funds necessary to bride the officials needed get the friend out of the country (00:59:04:00) o Nguyen originally could not afford to bribe the officials but in 1990, he borrowed enough money from a friend to get his application to go through, which took another two years to complete (00:59:38:00) o Paying officials is a custom in Vietnam; to get anything to go through, a person had to pay an official and if a person did not pay, then their paperwork would not go through (01:00:50:00)  The need to pay officials was not as serious under the former South Vietnamese government as it was under the communists because the South Vietnamese had the law; if a bad thing happened, then the law could detect it, whereas, under the communists, the law did not matter (01:01:21:00)  The different officials tried to protect one another (01:01:48:00) o At the time, Nguyen did not have to hide any of his activities because it had become normal for everyone (01:02:28:00) When they first prepared to leave, Nguyen and his family got on a plane for Thailand and from Thailand, they went to the United States, specifically, Michigan (01:03:01:00) o The family went to Michigan because in Vietnam, Nguyen had a friend who’s daughter lived in Grand Rapids and she sponsored the family to move to Michigan (01:03:26:00) o Nguyen and his family had some challenges when they first arrived in the United States but they were not too big because Nguyen knew how to speak English; moreover, Americans were always patient and willing to help the family (01:04:01:00) o Nguyen did manage to find a job, although at the time, there were not many jobs available; he found a job working in a school helping other Vietnamese (01:04:34:00) o After working in the schools, Nguyen did some manual labor; Nguyen’s wife also got a job after a year (01:05:26:00)  Nguyen and his family tried to lead honest lives because they were thankful to the U.S. government and the American people (01:05:57:00) o When the family first arrived in the United States, there was already a Vietnamese community in Grand Rapids, so they helped the family (01:06:22:00) �  Nguyen spent ten difficult years under the communists and those years made him want to leave the country; he and his family were poor and they did not have enough money to live their lives (01:07:04:00) o Nguyen’s children were not allowed to go to the university except for the agricultural college; the communists did not want them to leave the town so they could easily Nguyen (01:07:28:00) o On the other hand, in the United States, Nguyen’s children could go to any college they wanted to and the family had freedoms (01:08:12:00) Nguyen suggests that if anyone wants to visit a communist Asian country, be it China or Vietnam, then that person should not just stay in the city; they should go into the villages and the heartlands because then they can hear what the people have to say (01:09:18:00) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After attending a school at a French military outpost, Nguyen went traveled to Saigon to go to college. After a single year of dentistry schooling, Nguyen joined the South Vietnamese police force, where he worked through the entirety of the Vietnam War. Following the Northern victory, the communists gathered all former employees of the South Vietnamese government, including Nguyen, and placed them in re-education camps. In reality, the camps were nothing more than prisons.

With grant support from the Michigan Women's Foundation & support from the Office of Multicultural Affairs; we invite you to participate! What is the purpose ofNIARA? The primary purpose of the NIARA Program is to help women students of color connect and build meaningful relationships with professional women of color in order to strengthen connections to the campus community, the community at large, and to enhance their college experience. Ultimately, the program hopes to increase the satisfaction and retention of these women. NIARA will acknowledge and celebrate multiple identities, engage participants through skill building workshops focusing on achievement of personal and professional goals, provide service learning opportunities, offer leadership experience, and create an open space for encouraging personal growth through dialogue and support. What is special about NIARA? It is designed as a multi-faceted, multi-generational mentoring program that involves professional/faculty women, college women and middle/high school girls. Specially selected professional women of color will serve as mentors to a group of undergraduate women. In turn, those undergraduate women will provide mentorship to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds involved in the Girls Inc. program at the YWCA West Central Michigan. What do we want your role to be? We want you to be a mentor in the program. You were specifically invited to participate in the NIARA program because of the crucial role that you have played in our campus community. Many of you have participated in previous programs through the Women's Center, as participants in Fireside Chats, are members of the Women's Commission, Positive Black Women, or have shown a commendable commitment to diversity, mentorship, or service learning in your individual work. We hope that you will join the Women's Center in this unique opportunity. What is required ofyou? We need you to attend the following four events during the Fall 2009 semester.
