Reflections on Memorial Day

May 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Congressional candidate Nate Shinagawa recently sent us his reflections on Memorial Day.

Nate Shinagawa

When I was younger, my grandfather, who served in the United States Air Force, told me the story of how his friend Lt. Ku sacrificed his life so that others could live. They served together in the I Corps Tactical Zone, the northernmost region of South Vietnam bordering North Vietnam. One day when their helicopter had to make an emergency landing, the Viet Cong saw and attacked from all sides. The pilot called for backup, but before it arrived he was hit and killed. From the chaos of the firefight, Lt. Ku rose up to provide leadership and to defend his fellow Airmen. When he had gotten everyone but the pilot out safely, Lt. Ku was struck and killed by enemy fire. In the last moments of the fight, they were able pull his body back in the helicopter and bring him home to rest. It is because of that sacrifice that my grandfather is alive to tell me such stories.

Today we honor the men and women who gave their lives defending America and its values. While these heroes should be honored every day, they and their families should be especially honored on Memorial Day. As this holiday weekend of barbecues, baseball games, and fireworks comes to a close, let’s share the stories that bring us back to the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Please share your story of what makes Memorial Day meaningful to you.

Have a safe, enjoyable holiday. Please keep in mind the brave men and women such as Lt. Ku who sacrificed their lives so that we may live freely and in peace.

Nate

Dr. Jennifer Ong for CA State Assembly District 20

May 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Ed. Note:  We are printing this piece at the request of California Assembly candidate Dr. Jennifer Ong.  AAA-Fund has not made an endorsement decision in this race, and encourages you to learn more about all the candidates before the June 5, 2012 primary election.

Dr. Jennifer Ong for CA State Assembly District 20

My name is Dr. Jennifer Ong and I am running for the CA State Assembly. With your help, I will be the first Filipina American ever to serve in the California state legislature. Much as your story, my story represents the American dream fulfilled.

My family came here from the Philippines when I was eleven years old. I grew up in the Bay Area. My dad was a grocery store produce man and my mom sold hot dogs in the Coliseum. Their hard work enabled me to earn my Doctorate in Optometry at UC Berkeley and I have run my own practice for the past twelve years, employing seven people.

I have dedicated my entire life to my core values. I worked with the Family Violence Council and Child Assault Prevention Program and increased access to healthcare through health fairs and vision screenings. I maintained clean and safe neighborhoods as a member of the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force and as captain of my neighborhood alert program. Additionally, I founded a grassroots campaign in Alameda County to combat Hepatitis B.

Become a part of history in the making. Help elect the first Filipina American to serve in the California State Assembly. Email my campaign at OngforAssembly2012@gmail.com. Your help is critical in the next few days leading to the June 5th election. Call, email, Tweet and send Facebook messages to family and friends to vote on June 5th for Dr. Jennifer Ong for State Assembly if they live in San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, Fairview, Ashland, Cherryland, Hayward, Union City and North Fremont. More details are also available at www.drjenniferong.org. Salamat po!
