The Vietnamese Americans are celebrating in Westminster, the police here in the OC will keep them safe, and they have SWAT snipers on the roof tops helping to provide security for their parade.
My Mother lived in Westminster when she was a child, and she loved it.
After the end of the Vietnam War the people from Vietnam were brought to Camp Pendleton and from there they were allowed to choose where in the USA they wanted to live, and they picked Westminster, California, so Westminster is now home to many people from Vietnam.
I talked with some people about what it was like when Vietnam fell to communism and when they escaped to America, and they said the communists in Vietnam were dangerous, and they were like savages, and they would kill anyone who did not go along with their bullshit. They said the communists were dangerous in Vietnam. They were grateful to escape to the USA. Also, many people from Vietnam escaped to France, and there are a lot of people from Vietnam living in France.
Right now we are bringing people from Ukraine to the USA, and I suggest they look at Battle Mountain, Nevada, as they are searching for a home, the same way that the people from Vietnam picked Westminster, California. Also, Napa, and Merced, are nice areas for the refugees from Ukraine, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
