AN INVITATION TO OUR 3RD ANNUAL GALA FOR DISABLED VIETNAMESE VETERANS
“CHÚT QUÀ CHO ANH - Kỳ III”
Dear Distinguished Patrons,
It has been forty-four years since the end of the Vietnam War. To the younger generations, perhaps the war is merely another chapter in their history book. But for the disabled Vietnamese veterans of the Republic of South Vietnam, each day is a reminder of the costly price they pay when they set their lives aside and rose to their country’s calling. They are not hailed as heroes. They live in isolation, casted aside as being invisible and mistreated by the communist government. They live in crowded group homes under dehumanizing conditions and overwhelmed by illnesses of maturity in addition to their wounds of war.
We Vietnamese people living abroad do not forget the disabled military men and women that were left behind. We do not forget the sacrifices they made to protect our freedom, or the lives and limbs they lost as a consequence. We do not forget their imprisonment, torture and forced harsh manual labor in “re-education camps” at the hands of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. And we do not forget their constant sufferings, humiliations and inability to care for themselves because of their courageous actions.
Once again, the Vietnamese-American Community of Massachusetts comes together to support these unsung heroes, to remind them they are not forgotten and to thank them in some small way for the incredible sacrifices they have made on our behalf. More importantly, we want to give them the opportunity to live out their lives with dignity, and be comforted knowing they are honored and loved.
Event: “Hát Cho Người Ở Lại” live music concert with dance and dinner
When: Saturday October 19, 2019, 6:30pm-11:30pm
Location: St. Gregory Parish, 2214 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester MA 02124
Tickets: $55 (VIP) and $45
Please show your support by attending this meaningful and entertaining event or by making a tax-deductible donation. Because we also give back to our local community, a portion of the proceeds will go to support St. Mark’s Education Program (stmarksesol.org) which teaches English to Vietnamese residents.
Please contact Khang Nguyen (781-707-6397, [email redacted]) if we can be of any assistance. Thank you for giving back to our brothers and sisters the honor and dignity they deserve.
Very Truly Yours,
Khang H. Nguyen
