From deeply moving personal memoirs to insightful political and social reflections, the collection seeks to restore fairness to history and to rekindle faith in a future of freedom and democracy for our homeland.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">Beyond painful memories, Fifty Years in Retrospect also records an extraordinary journey of resilience and renewal\u2014particularly of the Vietnamese community in the United States, and more broadly across the Vietnamese diaspora worldwide. From the earliest days of hardship in refugee camps, our community rebuilt life from nothing. Within just half a century, more than five million Vietnamese have formed a strong, vibrant, and contributing community.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">Today, Vietnamese Americans are present in every field\u2014education, science, medicine, technology, business, politics, and the arts. Across generations, our sons and daughters have become scientists, scholars, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, elected officials at both local and federal levels, and service members throughout the United States Armed Forces. Among them are seven distinguished generals, men and women alike. Most notably, in late September 2025, former Rear Admiral Hung Cao, a second-generation Vietnamese refugee, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Under Secretary of the Navy\u2014the highest civilian position beneath the Secretary of the Navy. On October 3, he was formally sworn into office. These achievements have brought honor not only to individuals, but to the Vietnamese people across the free world.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">Distinguished guests,<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">These accomplishments stand as undeniable proof of the resilience, adaptability, and enduring spirit of the Vietnamese people. They remind us that the belief in freedom and democracy has never faded. From our second homelands, new generations have carried forward a tradition of learning, perseverance, and service\u2014preserving Vietnamese cultural identity while fully integrating into and contributing to the societies that welcomed us.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">Half a century has passed since the tragedy of April 1975\u2014a profound wound in our national history, and the beginning of an unprecedented exodus of millions of Vietnamese into exile. Fifty Years in Retrospect, published today by the Institute for Vietnamese History and Culture, brings together seventeen authors of different generations, backgrounds, and life experiences prior to 1975, writing from various states across the United States. Together, their voices form a bridge between memory and the present, between historical truth and our shared hopes for the future.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">This anthology is not merely a collection of memories. It is a tribute to those who came before us. It is a testament to the vitality of a people who refused to be broken. And it is a message to future generations: that even when loss endures, the Vietnamese people have risen from suffering, reaffirmed their identity, and continued the journey toward a future worthy of the sacrifices made in the past.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">This book deserves to be read by first-generation refugees, so they may reflect upon their own lives and families in the long journey toward freedom. It also deserves to be read by our children and grandchildren, so they may understand why Vietnamese communities exist throughout the free world\u2014and so they may carry forward the aspiration to build a free, democratic, and prosperous Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p><P align=\"justify\">For these reasons, Fifty Years in Retrospect belongs on the bookshelf of every Vietnamese family. We also hold the hope that it will one day be translated into English, so that future generations may more clearly understand why the Vietnamese were forced to leave their homeland, and how they came to stand, with dignity and purpose, throughout the free world.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eBook &#8220;TUY\u1ec2N T\u1eacP 50 N\u0102M NH\u00ccN L\u1ea0I&#8221; Tr\u00e2n tr\u1ecdng k\u00ednh ch\u00e0o qu\u00fd v\u1ecb quan kh\u00e1ch, Cu\u1ed1n s\u00e1ch l\u00e0 b\u1ea3n t\u01b0\u1eddng tr\u00ecnh trung th\u1ef1c v\u1ec1 nh\u1eefng m\u1ea5t m\u00e1t v\u00e0 hy sinh, \u0111\u1ed3ng th\u1eddi l\u00e0 ti\u1ebfng n\u00f3i kh\u1eb3ng \u0111\u1ecbnh ph\u1ea9m gi\u00e1 v\u00e0 \u00fd ch\u00ed ki\u00ean c\u01b0\u1eddng c\u1ee7a con ng\u01b0\u1eddi Vi\u1ec7t Nam.
