Profile Highlights Immigrant Dream
Thank you for the refreshing article Oct. 14 on Thao Michelle Duong. People like Duong are the pride of the immigrant communities. They are the hopes and dreams of their immigrant parents who have made so much personal sacrifices so that their children can have a better future in America.
Educated in the mainstream yet fully aware of the often painful immigrant experience, they appreciate and believe in the American dream. They will make positive contributions to this society, but also do not hesitate to speak up and fight for those less fortunate.
In this time of immigrant bashing, Duong is part of a new generation of Americans who continue to symbolize the immigrant tradition of this great country.
