Vang Family
by Stormi Greener
Nhia Vang was an intelligence officer for the United States during the Vietnam War. Though his service was for the United States military, he was not an enlisted member. As a result, he is unable to claim any veterans benefits. The lack of veterans benefits has been especially hard on the family since Nhia was laid off and his wife recently suffered a stroke.
The Vang family’s house is in foreclosure. When the sheriff comes to foreclose
on the house, the Vang family will have nowhere to live. “I will have
to take my family out to the jungle” says Nhia.
