Ho Chi Minh! What is his true identity?

by Michael Do

Many Americans still think the Vietnam War was unjust. They see Ho Chi Minh as a Vietnamese patriot whose only objective was the independence of his country. Thus, they believe that the US government sent combat troops to fight against Vietnam (or Vietnamese people) rather than the real enemies of the Free World.

This is to prove that the real enemies of the United States in the Vietnam War were the communists who embraced the Marxism ideology.  This also proves that Ho Chi Minh was not a good guy as he maliciously disguised himself, but only a devil who heartlessly murdered hundreds of thousands of his fellow people in the name of Socialism and who launched the bloody war that resulted in 3 million deaths to serve the goal of Communist International.

Ho Chi Minh! What is his true identity?

Who were our true enemies?

Hồ Chí Minh was born Nguyễn Sinh Cung then Nguyen Tất Thành on May 19, 1890, in Nghệ An Province in the French protectorate of Annam (Central Vietnam). His father, Nguyễn Sinh Sắc, was dismissed from a low-ranking mandarin post for being drunk and beating to death a peasant. Ho used 175 different names during his lifetime to hide his real identity.

The National Vietnam War Museumat Mineral Wells, Texas

Michael Do

Nine months ago, on June 25, 2022, a group of dozens of Vietnamese Americans from Fort Worth arrived at Mineral Wells to attend the Opening Ceremony of The National Vietnam War Museum. Mineral Wells is a small city that is located about 40 miles west of Fort Worth. Viewing several photos taken at the venue, I was somewhat disappointed when seeing some exhibits on our enemies but a very rare thing about the ARVN’s soldiers who played the major role and suffered the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War. I wrote an article to express my sadness and published it on the web and in many Vietnamese papers and magazines.

The Museum Board might know my complaint!

This month, March 2023, Mr. Wayne Sanderson reached out to the Vietnamese community! He sent an email letter to the leaders of the Vietnamese Community inviting them to an important meeting to discuss how the Vietnamese community would get involved in future museum activities.

Vietnam War, Lots of Misunderstandings from the American Perspective

Michael Do

There are truths that we do not want to reveal because they might hurt the feelings of some of our friends. The Vietnam War ended almost half a century ago but there have still been a lot of misunderstandings among our American friends, particularly the Vietnam Veterans. Our ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) soldiers had sacrificed during the war and still suffered the offense on social media, mostly due to the misinformation and the superiority complex of some racist American veterans.

We don’t know how much the American soldiers were taught about Vietnam’s culture and history before they were sent to Vietnam. We guess they only learned some basic things just enough to contact the people they rarely met. That’s why, for the past 50 years, there were too many misunderstandings among the American public, media, and even among many soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War.

Their common mistakes about Vietnam are:

The Vietnam War was between the United States and Vietnam. They ignored the major role of the South Vietnamese people, government, and soldiers.

The Vietnamese American Community to attend the Wreath Laying Ceremony of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington DC

On Friday June 10, 2022, the delegation of the Vietnamese American Community of the USA led by Ms TraMy Nguyen (President of the Board ofExecutives) and Thu Huong Nguyen (VP) attended the 15th Annuel Roll Call of Nations and Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Victims of Communism Memorial

The ceremony was held by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation at the corners of New Jersey and Massachusetts Ave. in Washington DC.

The following is quoted from the Press Release of the VOC Foundation

Ms. TraMy Nguyen and Ms. Thu Huong Nguyen

The VOC recognized Russian dissident Alexei Navalny as the recipient of the 2021 Dissident Human Rights Award. Mr. Navalny is a Russian opposition leader, politician, lawyer, and anti-corruption activist. He came to international prominence by organizing demonstrations, and running for office, to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Putin’s government. Navalny has been described as “the man Vladimir Putin fears most” by The Wall Street Journal. Navalny is a Russian Opposition Coordination Council member, the leader of the Russia of the Future party and the founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK).

Mr. Navalny was presented with the Dissident Human Rights Award virtually in January of 2021 but a formal ceremony was unable to be held at that time due to Covid-19 protocols. We are pleased to have Anna Veduta, Vice President of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, accept the award on behalf of Mr. Navalny at this year’s Roll Call of Nations Ceremony.

We oppose the teaching of Critical Race Theory

The Critical Race Theory is similar to the Class Struggle of Marxism, Communism. It brainwashes our children and stirs up the hatred between people of different races.

Here is the sample letter to send to the lawmakers and urge them to ban the teaching of this poisonous theory in schools.

To  Congressman hay Senator…

Press Release In Regard to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Statement that offends the Vietnamese Americans and Nail Business.

During his daily COVID-19 briefing in Sacramento on Thursday, 7 May 20, Governor of California, Mr. Gavin Newsom said “This whole thing started in the State of California, the first community spread, in a nail salon. I just want to remind everybody of that and that I’m very worried about that”. After the provocative remark, Gov.

Despite requests from several civil and media organizations, Gov. Newsom defended his decision not to release further proof of his accusations because of health and privacy concerns.
