Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.
\n\nThis project defines \"immigrant\" broadly. Our collection contains digital stories from people living outside their country of birth as well as stories created by their children and grandchildren. Immigrant Stories also welcomes stories from international students, international adoptees, and people who do not feel that their stories fit a particular, or just one, category. All stories are important, and we invite you to make a video and share yours with us.

It identifies a few of the leaders during the battle at the Plain of Jars. This one is me. Next to me is Colonel Nhia Lue and next to him is Lieutenant Colonel Vang Koua.\nThe communists retreated, we took the photo and camped for a night and then waited to hear our next assignments.
