My mother had a cousin who served in Viet Nam. In the late 70s, he brought dozens of Vietnamese refugees to America, and one summer there were 30-40 Vietnamese men and boys living in my house, sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor of our rec room, as Cousin Jim worked out places for them to stay, and eventually started up a furniture business to help them earn a living. As a child, of course, I just liked having a house full of people to play with. I had no idea what they went through, or even why they were there.

That is an awesome story. Did he keep up with the refugees to see how their lives turned out? That would be a book I would enjoy reading. Kudos to your cousin for his bravery and courage.
