Vang Pao: The Untold Stories

Vang Pao was a great General and leader of the Hmong Nation. I am telling four Vang Pao stories you have not heard. The first is how we, the U.S., actually discovered Vang Pao, and it isn’t the Bill Lair version that some of you might be familiar with. The second story is from Raven Jim Lemon. Jim was the very first Raven at Long Tieng, as you learned from the video Ravens I, and he tells a fascinating story about Vang Pao’s visit to North Vietnam. Next, former smokejumper and CIA paramilitary officer in Laos Ken Hessel tells a story that shows Vang Pao's great compassion and humanity, and finally a story from a smokejumper that worked in Lao and demonstrates a harsher side of Vang Pao.
