His province, a border city in Central Vietnam, was the site of great conflict between South and North Vietnam. When Tam was 16, his province fell to the offensive attacks of the North Vietnamese, and the Viet Cong took everything from the Quang Tri civilians. Tam’s father was placed in a re-education camp due to his involvement and association with the US government. Tam was forced to leave school and work as a lumberjack to support himself, and his 3 siblings. Even after his father was released Tam felt the constraints of the Viet Cong he felt his family was being constantly patrolled and his father consistently on edge. In 1995 Tam and his family were given the opportunity to come to the US via the McCain Program geared towards refugees that lived in re-educations centers for more than 3 years. Tam now lives in Santa Ana, California with his family. [Profile bio]
