ARVN best generals and current Viet children in Twin Cities

The Youtube video on top is about late LtGen Trí Cao Đỗ who led ARVN batalions into Cambodia with the US forces in 1970. He was killed there.

The Youtube video in the middle is about late LtGen Trưởng Quang Ngô who was reassigned from IV Corps to I Corps to replace incompetent commander late LtGen Lãm Xuân Hoàng. The latter had failed the Laos incursion in Tchepone Lam Sơn 719 in 1971. Gen. Trưởng was loved by his men. He was ordered by Pres. Thiệu to abandon I and II Corps and withdraw troops to defendable territories in March 1975. The withdrawal columns of refugees were heavily bombarded by the VC/NVA... just like in during the Easter Offensive of 1972: the National Route of Horror...

The YouTube video on the bottom is about the current (Jan 2017) 2nd and 3rd generation Vietnamese children celebrating the Lunar New Year Of the Rooster Tết Đinh Dậu 2017 át the Vietnamese language school Trường Việt Ngữ in Róseville.
