U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Loi Dao, a recruiter with Recruiting Sub-Station Westminster, Recruiting Station Orange County, poses with the South Vietnam flag in Santa Ana, California on May 21, 2021. “As a first-generation Vietnamese-American, our families have sacrificed a lot for us to come over here to create a better life for us,” says Dao. ”While seeing what they had to endure and go through to get where we are today, I wanted to be able to do something for them in return, to show them that their sacrifice was not in vain. I found that to be similar when I enlisted into the Marine Corps.” This month we celebrate and recognize Asian American and Pacific Islander American’s for their contributions to history, culture, and the achievements of the United States.
