Dang, right, after arriving in the U.S. They were refugees in Thailand after the fall of Saigon in 1975. “Though there are differences in time, technology and some of the challenges my family went through at the time, it really hits home for me because of the opportunity that America provided to my family, and for me growing up a first generation American, to be able to attend college and then commission and now serve in the Army,” said Dang. “ This is my home, this is the country I choose to serve. At the same token, I can see the same opportunities being afforded to our guests in the future.”(Courtesy photo)
