General Vang Pao Funeral Ends Today
Today, Wednesday, February 9, 2011, is the last day of the General Vang Pao funeral. It was a great and memorable event. Such a well-planned 6-day event. The people that I met were very friendly and nice. Lots of the attendees were high level officers in the Laotian military and many people held high level jobs in the U.S. today. I learned alot about Buddhist funerals.
Rest in Peace General Vang Pao. He did a great thing in bringing many thousands of Hmong, Laotians, and Cambodians into the US for safety and a new future. Yes, the stories were amazing.

Hmong New Year Celebrations
There are two celebrations listed in Fresno on December 26th. While many will be absorbed by post-Christmas sales, this is a day to also visit the Hmong culture.
Gen Vang Pao will attend one or more of the events. General Pao fought communists in southeast Asia, He also aided and saved the lives of many American soldiers during the war. The General was rescued, along with other citizens, into the U.S. at the end of the war.
