2005: Year in Progress

Author Quang Pham signs a copy of his newly published book, A Sense of Duty, following presentation he gave on campus in April. His appearance at Cal State Fullerton was the first in a 20-city tour for the publication, in which Pham describes his life as a Vietnamese refugee who eventually becomes an American citizen. The author joined the U.S. Marines, flying a helicopter during the Gulf War and in Somalia. As part of A Sense of Duty, Pham contrasts his life to that of his father, who served in the South Vietnamese Army and was imprisoned following the fall of Saigon.
