Description
Andy Ngo was born on December 3, 1992, and grew up in San Jose, California. Although he does not have any direct experience with the Vietnam War, both of his parents lived through the war and were refugees. Andy’s mother is originally from Phnom Penh, Cambodia which was the site of the secret bombing missions by the United States government, while Andy’s father is from Saigon, Vietnam. Growing up, Andy’s parents were always open to talk to him about their experiences inside the re-education camps, both in Cambodia and Vietnam, and what it was like when they escaped to Thailand. Because of his unique indirect experience, Andy provides valuable insight as to how some of the first generation Vietnamese-Americans perceive the war. Andy is currently a senior at the University of Southern California and hopes to one day become a doctor.
