I contributed a painting which was incorporated into the Lao, Hmong, and American Veterans Memorial in Deland Park, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It is the first such monument of its size.
The Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial is a monument to the service and sacrifice of the Hmong people of Laos who fought for the United States during the secret war from 1961-1975. It was dedicated on July 15, 2006 in Deland Park in Sheboygan, which has one of the larger Hmong communities in the United States and was among the first cities to take Hmong asylum seekers and immigrants in the late 1970s.
It seeks to honor and remember all the Hmong who fought against communism. It includes 24 panels dedicated to military personnel who were a part of the Hmong Secret Guerrilla Unit Army that fought against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in the Secret War, as well as all civilian participants.
