Dedicated to all the victims of the atrocities endured and the loved ones lost during the Vietnam war. Eight people in our family were lucky enough to survive the open sea and make it safely to Pulau Tanga, Malaysia in 1978 before gratefully immigrating to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Though this first generation has flourished, and grown, we will never forget those that continue to be deprived of democracy and freedoms deserved by all.
