Special Presentation

Anthem Center

“A Sense of Duty” is a nationally-honored book by Mr. Quang Pham, a naturalized US Citizen from Vietnam who is running for Congress, as an Independent, in Southern California.

The book (and this presentation) is a true story about two military pilots, a father and his son, and their unique life journeys—Quang Pham and his father, Hoa Pham.

The father, Lt Col Hoa Pham, VNAF, a USAF-trained pilot flew A-1E/H, AC-47, C-123k and C-130A for South Vietnam in the 1950's to 1975 time frame. After 1975, Hoa Pham survived 10 years of torture in Communist prison camps before being allowed to immigrate to join his family and become a US citizen—just before dying of cancer.

The son, Quang X. Pham, escaped with his mother and sisters to the US in 1975, and overcame staggering obstacles to become US-educated, to graduate from UCLA, and to become the first Vietnam-born USMC pilot. Quang went on to fight for the US with great distinction in the Persian Gulf and Somalia. Afterwards, he joined the USMC Reserves and became a successful entrepreneur.

This book is Quang’s way of saying thank you to his father’s generation, and to the US military who have made it possible for so many in the world to enjoy liberty. This special presentation will fill you with new pride and lasting respect for those who fought for freedom for South Vietnam. Don’t miss it!
