Vietnamese refugees pay it forward: Le Luong
When James Nguyen, Le Luong and Tom Tam saw the images of Syrian refugees trying to cross the Aegean Sea, with waves washing over the sides of their rubber dinghies, it brought back a flood of memories. As children, they had escaped Vietnam by boat in the 1970s. They were among the 60,000 so-called “boat people” that Canada welcomed as refugees after the end of the Vietnam War. Their hearts went out to the millions of Syrians forced to flee the bombing and terrorist attacks, which had literally reduced many of their homes to rubble.
