Trung Tá VƠ PHI SƠN
Ba
mươi lăm năm sau ngày Quốc Hận 30-4-1975….Có ai ngờ những em bé ngày
nào bám chéo áo mẹ, hốt hoảng và ngơ ngác trước cơn băo táp đen tối
đang ập vào miền Nam thân yêu, nay đang trưởng thành trên quê người
với nhiều thành tích đáng nể.

Lt. Colonel SON PHI VO
Barely escaped from Communism at the 25th hour of the fall of South Vietnam 33 years ago, the Vo's family made their way to Guam where they were later admitted to the United States as Political refugees. The Vo's family is now living at Miami, Florida. The father, Lt. Colonel Ho Phi Vo, an A-37 Flying Dragon Pilot of the 534th Squadron, 92nd Air Tactical Wing at Phan Rang 20th Air Base, brought up his children with Vietnamese tradition and values. Mr. Vo always teaches the boys the pride of being a soldier in war time. Son Vo had been an outstanding student when in high school before he got admission to the West Point Military Academy, class of 1992. Since his grade 9 at W. R. Thomas HS (1985), Son was elected President of National Honor Society and Science Society. He graduated as Valedictorian and was granted numerous awards such as: Award of Honor by The National Leadership Organization; The American Legion School Award by The American Legion. His military career began with 2nd Armored Division, 4th ID, 82nd Air Borne Division, Son flew OH-58 AC, Apache during his service in Afghanistan. He moved from platoon leader to Company Commander, Regimental S-3, S-1 Assistant Son was promoted to Lt. Colonel on March 1st, 2009 and is currently serving as advisor in charge of helicopter pilot training to the army of several Arab Countries.
We praise Lt. Vo not only because of his achievement in military career, but for his dedication to the motherland Vietnam as he always carries along the flag of Vietnam (the Yellow background with 3 red stripes) Answering in an interview with the local Television, Vo said: "When I began to understand things around me, I realized that this country (the U.S.) gives opportunities to individuals to develop their talents; I tried to work and study harder. Thanked to the equal opportunity, I could achieve my goals. And now, it my time to pay back."
Col. Son was introduced on The Miami News front page with congratulations on his successes, he is joining hundreds of other young Vietnamese (the 2nd generation of Viet Community in the US) who have been climbing high in the main stream and made their families, friends and fellow Vietnamese American proud of. Just name a few:
