The devastation millions felt, the sacrifice of 58,000American service members and over 260,000 former Vietnam Republic service members. Because 50 years later, Black April is a time to honor and pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed, to remember those who perished at sea in search of freedom and democracy. It serves as a reminder for the ongoing fight for justice, human rights and democracy. What I see during Black April is the resilience of the Vietnamese community, how the devastation of losing our country did not stop us from contributing and serving today. (00:58–01:09)
