I've noticed that all the responses are from american people talking about how they lost their family memeber to the war,. But no one really knows what the Hmong people go through. Everyday we think back on the war and say, "if the war never happened then we would today have a home to call our own. But we don't we live in America which is not ours it belongs to the Americans that lied to us during the war. Have you Heard of The Secret War..... I didn't think so. well my father fought for the Americans and lost his hearing in one of his ears and is scared fo life. I was born in here in america but the horror stories that my parents have told does not make me happy for being born in America and having an american name going t an american school and livivng in the americans world in the americans lifestyle. Trying tto fit in with the americans whe I know that I don't. Strugling to live as a Hmong girl and trying ti fit in to he American lifestyle and living in their home amd not mines. This world was not made for me to try and fit in when i dn't when I am with my own I fit in and when I go to school and see tat the americans have thi land to all their home and the Africans to have Africa to call their home and the Hispanics to have Mexico or PeutroRico to call their home and here I am an outsider only wishing to have a land to call my own. But thanks to the lies that I've been told here I am , me and family in your land and not ours.
