 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 

  April 30, 1975, marked the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam 
war. Many Vietnamese Americans who were alive during the war remember 
this as the day that signified the loss of a country they once called 
home.
  The people left everything they knew to flee communism. Hundreds of 
thousands of Vietnamese people have resettled in the United States and 
built vibrant communities here. California's 48th District is the proud 
home of Little Saigon, which is home to more Vietnamese Americans than 
anywhere else in the United States.
  On Black April, I will join the Vietnamese Americans in our community 
and around the country in honoring those who served in Vietnam, and 
those who lost their lives attempting to flee Communist rule.
