Hmong History And The Vietnam War
Guest: Yer Vang, President, Wisconsin Asian Bar Association
Honoring Vietnam veterans would not be complete without recognizing the important role of Hmong veterans who fought on the side of the United States in The Secret War in Laos. Wisconsin is now home to the third largest population of Hmong people in the United States. Enlightening us on the Hmong history and culture and how Hmong soldiers were secretly enlisted to help the United States along the critical Ho Chi Minh Trail is Yer Vang.
