"I don't want to be a burden of this society when I come" that is the voice of a true immigrant, refugee if you could say. Someone who came to a new land to make something out of what he had. How proud he must be.
Yesterday, I watched a video on Cambodian refugees who were gang members and had committed crimes were repatriated back to Cambodia. Their reason was being a minority, they suffered racist bullying from the blacks, so they had to join a gang to fend for themselves. So, I asked, "What about the Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Sikhs and Chinese Cambodians?"
This is a lesson tat "ALL AMERICANS" should adhere to, this nation is not the greatest in the world and there are many flaws to deal with. But if you want to succeed all that one must do is to get a education and the world is your to make a good life.

@draken761 CIA supported Taliban in 1980s against Soviets. Al Qaida and 64 other Islamic terror outfits were formed after Taliban and was supported by Pakistan in fact even today.. Forget 9/11 alone.what about other terror attacks around the world post 9/11....and what what about Jihad which is a pillar of Islam...Do still think America made Islam and supported jihad...

...and he gets to command one of the newest and best ships in the Navy. This is not so much a story about a Vietnamese immigrant becoming a U.S. Navy Commander, as it is about the hard work ethic and character of this young man.
As a Marine Veteran and Vietnamese. I am so glad to see many of us giving back and serving our great nation. I will pick up my rifle and protect our country any time. Semper Fi 0311.
This is not a isolated case. My family came to the US in 1975. Three years ago, My youngest brother became a commander in the navy. He served in the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.
Wow, I am continually impressed with the ability of the Vietnamese to integrate into our society while retaining their own heritage. They have established themselves as hard-working and highly intelligent people.
its was never about the race, skin color or the religion of the person. only narrow and shallow minded people buy into those kind of stuff. a persons character is worth more then what they are born with.
Commander, Sir thank you for your service to Our great Nation. I played a small part in the Evacuation of Saigon, April 1975. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sgt.
I'm not his father but I am so proud of him I can imagine how his father in the rest of his family feels I salute you Captain hope you find this message.
The people of the United States should be very proud of this Navy commander. He is proof positive that you can do and be anything you want in this country.
When our family just arrived to the US from Vietnam, we were dirt poor. We were qualified for Food Stamp but my dad refused to apply for it. He said it was such a BLESSING, a second chance at live to escape Communist to be here in the US so we determined to work from the ground up. Thanks to this wonderful country, all of us now have a stable life and many of our family members are in the medical field helping others, especially the poor and underserved population as a way to pay back.

He has nothing to be called a traitor due to what u guys did to him and his family as well as millions of southern people whose land, fortune, and the economy built by them were taken away by the commies after what the u guys call "the revolution of VN ". And it is "traitor" not "trainer". Learn basic English before u want to show how shallow you are, mate.
Not every VN immigrant can achieve the heights of success that this VN immigrant did. However, all law-abiding immigrants no matter their professional success deserve to be treated fairly and rightly by their fellow American citizens. They should not be used to pit one community against another or to denigrate any other communities. Not every refugee is lucky enough to become legal immigrants due to the changing political climate of this country. The VN people were lucky to be accepted into the US after the war ended. I see these refugees similarly as those flooding our borders currently because they too are escaping extreme violence, persecution and poverty in their home country. When we (my VN family) escaped from VN on a rickety boat taking the ultimate risk with our own lives, we felt like we had no choice but to flee. The refugees escaping their homelands today are no different, they merely wish to find new homes to bring up their children where they could grow up to achieve their full potential. As a former refugee I empathize with all refugees whether they are economic or political refugees. To see half the country so hateful and demeaning to these people breaks my heart. The republican party that once accepted the VN refugees after the war ended are now so anti refugees and anti-immigrants is disheartening. One indelible mark that remained to this day in my heart and mind was an American oil rig employee peering down into my 9-year old face with a beatific smile. The food that the oil rig supplied our boat gave us not just sustenance but hope to keep finding safe harbor. That is the face of the America I love and will forever be indebted to. America you are the beacon of hope but your light has dimmed now because of all the hate, lies and vitriol spewing from members of Congress and a large segment of our country. If the VN boat people happen today and not in the 70s and 80s, none of us would ever be able to settle here and make something of ourselves like this young naval captain.
The Vietnamese make a great contribution to Australian society. They are extremely grateful for the opportunities their new country has offered. Hard working people.
The Vietcong showed them what kind of pussies they are! Vietnam fucked the US Army in the arse. My wife is Vietnamese and her father is in the army, he fought against the US, Cambodia and China
Willy Wonka lmao what are you talking about tell that to the 1 million we took out and you guys only got 50k u.s left that shit land the people didn’t want us there so we left let the south deal with it
Bless you, your family for showing what America is about. If you want to work and be a responsible citizen the sky is the limit in America. My grandfather & father taught us that in America the rewards are great if you put forth the effort.
That was the same mentality after I got here. The U.S. of A. I must pay back back my due for this new land that I call home for 40 years. Proud to be an engineer and retired after working for 35 years. Loving every minute, every day and every year since I have been here. Thank you!
We are all proud of you sir!!. You father's selfless decision not to be a burden to America!!. If we ever do get a chance to meet....I would definitely want to shake your hand and salute you!!!. Go job Sir!!
That is the best definition of the American Dream, and exactly what America was founded upon. Thank you Captain for your dedication to our Great country, and thank you for being a part of this voyage.
I was fortunate to grow up near a large Vietnamese community in So. Cal. and learned to love Vietnamese food. The stories of what many of them went through both coming to the U.S. and after they arrived are pretty incredible. Not only surviving escaping Vietnam but starting a business and four of five people living in the back room for years because they couldn't afford both the cost of an apartment and expenses on their business. No complaining, just hard work, so "I didn't want to be a burden on this society when I come" does not surprise me in the least. That community has grown, a lot, over the decades and more power to them.
I came here as a refugee from VN as well. Yup lots of us did that. We couldn't afford so 5 of us renting one bed room apt. I am the youngest so I slept in the couch we picked up on the side of the street for around 5 years. I did manage to get a BS from one of the good Universities here in the North East and been living a comfortable life since graduation. Looking back I still don't know how I survived those years :-)
I remember the flood of people we took in back then. Now look at the strong communities they've made. This is but one example of what they've done here. Captain I salute you sir
Opportunity, potential, motivation . . . that's what America, is all about. This soul was once saved . . . and now, he's made it a career 'giving back' !
From a commander of a navy to bagging groceries to raise his family. That is example of a real man. Btw, to all those have parents. They’re the hero of your lives.
As a follow up to my previous comment. If this man and his family can do it, anybody with the will and fortitude can do it to become an American Citizen. Again, thank you for your service captain.
Must have been a surreal moment demonstrating mutual respect by saluting members of a military who were once literally his father's enemy and a threat to their family's lives. Gives me hope that, over time, humanity wins in the end.
I was over there in 1978 on the USS White Plains We rescued 86 on the first batch and it was a blessing that group got to come to United States and I have met at Virginia Tech graduate that went home to get his family to get him out
A long and difficult journey on life of a Vietnamese refugee, his perseverance, personal dedication and hard works landed him to where he is now. He just want to give back to his adopted nation and serve at her pleasure.
I served with 2 vietnam refugees in the Marines. They where honored to be a part of the Corps. Both told stories of Marines saving their lives, families and entire villages. I guess the news that kept us from winning forgot about the good being done over there.
When they made them flee, they called them "traitors". When they later returned bringing money and power, they called them "patriotic Viet Kieu" (patriotic overseas Vietnamese). Typical communist behaviours.
What else to call them for what they do lol. If someone hit your face what should you call them? Later he relize otherwise and change his mind what should you call him. Jeeez
What you said is false actually, Vietnamese never call any Vietnamese traitors when they fled away from Vietnam, Vietnamese actually understand why they fled. Vietnamese only call other Vietnamese traitors when those Vietnamese themself become TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS (Viet Tan) or any other groups.
Well done young man i salute you and your strength within your family to take you to where you are just now but I will guarantee you are going to the top
I worked with a dude, on a drilling rig, who grew up in underground tunnels in Vietnam. He was the son of an American soldier and would have been killed if certain people found him. He was a hard working man, who had many children, we called him 'Squirrel' cause he always had a pocket full of sunflower seeds.
Congratulations, Captain Le for your service to the United States of America. It is immigrants like you who make America strong and free. I salute you for serving in the U.S. Navy. And may God protect the U.S. for her freedom and liberty.

Congratulations, Captain Le for your service to the United States of America. It is immigrants like you who make America strong and free. I salute you for serving in the U.S. Navy. And may God protect the U.S. for her freedom and liberty.
