    Photo of Ngon T. Dang, grandfather of Army Capt. Nguyenvy Dang, in uniform as a colonel with the Republic of Vietnam military forces before the fall of Saigon in 1975. “After refusing to abandon his post, my grandfather spent the next 13 years of his life in a reeducation camp, but really it was a war prison,” Dang said. He described his grandfather's experience as one motivating factor on how he operates with compassion and understanding for persons in vulnerable situations. (Courtesy photo)
