This year it will be held again at the Oregon Convention Center on February 2 and 3. Last year, there were approximately 12-15,000 people. We had the honor of Portland Mayor Tom Potter and City Commissioner Sam Adams’ presence to help us celebrate and bring in the Year of the Rat. |

PORTLAND, Ore.—In April 1975, the city of Saigon fell to communist rule. Many Vietnamese lost their homes, families, and lives defending their country. In the largest migration in history, almost 120,000 Vietnamese refugees left their home. With their pride and determination, a vast portion of the refugees came to America where they were met by the flag of the communist Vietnamese government displayed at government offices and international organizations. To this day, many are unaware there is another Vietnamese flag—one which stands for freedom, pride, and hope instead of a reminder of all that was stolen—the Freedom and Heritage Flag. This flag has long represented the history of Vietnam as a symbol for democracy.
