I am also born and raised in Philadelphia, USA but based in Singapore for work now. I'm in Batam this month for a project and told my parents about it. My mom and dad went thru the Galang Refugee camp in 1980. My older brother was born on the camp in April. I'm sharing this video along with Gaylord's blog photos with my dad to see if he recognizes anyone. I wish I could drive down to the refugee camp but very restricted due to COVID. We are forever grateful for you and the community. Terimakasih!
I love Indonesia with all my heart. I was born in Vietnam and lived in refugee camps around Indonesia until I was 10. I live in the US now but I hope I can come back to visit one day. I love Indonesia and its people with all my heart. Thank you!!!

I was in Galang for 6 months from 1979-1980. Thank you Mr. Barr for sharing all the great photos. Thank you Galang, Indonesia for letting my family and I stay during our quest for freedom!
Gaylord was a wonderful human being. He loved refugees with his heart. I had a chance to work with him on cultural projects at PRPC Morong (1996-1997). He was so calm and shared your feelings in any moment. Gaylord!!! You are still with us for a long time. I told my wife and my children, my friends about your works. We appreciated you very much.

Dear Tuan, I admire your thought. Please do, and pray for all of us refugees, perished or survived, and for all our saviors who came to our rescue, especially Gaylord Barr here who gave us this priceless memory
I really miss Indonesia. We were all living in Galang Side 2 (Cambodians' camp). Brought me back a lot of souvenir before coming to American in June 11 1982. Every weekend, we used to go the beach and we would catch lots of fish. Those were the days, one day, I'll go back and visit there.

Gaylord passed away a few years ago. He loved refugees with his heart. Gaylord was a wonderful human being. He always calm and shared your thoughts in any moment even when he was in the rust just like only you in the room. Gaylord you are still with us for a long time.
I would like to light an incense stick in remembrance of the boat people who died in the ocean and women victims of the Thai pirates. The harsh, cruel, discriminate, cruelty of the Communists of Vietnam after the invasion of South Vietnam is an unforgettable crime. This is not a reminder to rekindle hatred and desire for revenge, but to commemorate the deceased under a terrible barbaric regime. Like the Jews who remembered their compatriots were cremated in Nazi concentration camps. Con xin thắp một nén hương để tưởng nhớ đến những thuyền nhân đã bỏ mình trên đại dương và những phụ nữ là nạn nhân của bọn Hải Tặc Thái Lan. Sự hà khắc, tàn nhẫn, kỳ thị, độc ác của Cộng Sản Việt Nam sau khi cưỡng chiếm Miền Nam Việt Nam là tội ác không thể nào quên lãng được. Ở đây không phải nhắc lại để khêu gợi lại lòng thù hận và mong muốn để trả thù, nhưng mà là tưởng nhớ đế những người đã khuất dưới một chế độ man rợ ghê tởm. Giống như người Do Thái tưởng nhớ đến đồng hương của họ bị hỏa thiêu trong các trại tập trung của Đức Quốc Xã. Kính!
I was in Galang for 6 months from 1982-1983 .I am from barrack 59 zone 3 .when i watching this film clips ,I couldn't stopped my tears from those memories. Thankyou so much Gaylord Barr.

I was there around June, 6 of '86! how I miss it so! they got one of the best beach in the world with crystal clear water! I remember walking on a bridge one day wandering around and saw a really long dark snake (I think it's a king cobra?)! ever since then I've been fascinated with them! great video friend
