There's not much that I can say about General Vanguard that many of you don't already know. I know that what he did for the Hmong people will never be forgotten. It was his [General Van Po's] leadership and bravery that paved the way for the Hmong people to come to the United States. He deserves our gratitude for what he has done. We won't see another leader of his caliber for a long time. Another person in our local community that I would like to acknowledge is Colonel Zhua Trubang. (03:45–03:52)

CLAIM
