SEMINOLE – Vu Nguyen of Seminole vividly remembers the day when he and his family escaped the confusion 24 hours before Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese army.
It was 1975 and Nguyen was 4. His father, a member of the South Vietnamese navy, and other family members were lucky enough to escape on one of the last U.S. ships to leave.
For Vu, it was the beginning of a new life that has since transcended into a medical career and now a writing career.
In a couple of months, his third book will be published by Frederick, Md.-based Publish America.
