“My Vietnamese Father” analog photograph 20x16,” 2007 This photograph is of my father holding a picture of his younger self while in his first year of military school training in 1970. My father later became a lieutenant in the South Vietnamese army. Consequently, it was because of my dad's involvement in the war that my family and I were able to come to the U.S as political refugees through the Humanitarian Operation (HO) Program in the early 90s as part of the third wave of Vietnamese resettlement.
