Memoirs of a Chinese American Officer

By Wesley F. Fong

This story is one exploring the experiences of a Chinese American who found himself as an unexpected but dedicated officer in the US Army. It is a story of a man wanting to share his experiences with family and fellow Americans--one that begins when he first donned a military uniform in high school leading to his tour of duty in Vietnam. It is about the courage and sacrifice of soldiers during the war in Vietnam--a war that divided a nation.

This story is also one about how an Army medical company helped to save lives during the Vietnam War, both American and Vietnamese, rather than take them. For the American soldiers who served during this era, their general welcome home was not one defined by collective thanks for their respective service.

This story ends after the war and his completing thirty years of military service. It continues to follow his military career in the US, Army Reserves, and his rise to the rank of colonel. This story defines the true meaning of respect and commitment to duty, honor, and country.
