What does it take to escape post-war Vietnam and become a decorated Marine Sergeant Major?

Get ready to witness the resilience, courage, and resourcefulness required in the relentless quest for freedom. From navigating treacherous seas to finding refuge on a remote island, retired Sergeant Major Chuong Nguyen joins me to recount his extraordinary journey.

Experience the tension and desperation of Chuong’s first escape attempt, the relief of reaching land, and the makeshift survival strategies on an island devoid of modern comforts. Feel the heartbreak of a shattered dream as Chuong and others are imprisoned for their efforts, only to be inspired by a second, daring escape plan orchestrated by his determined father.

This episode offers a raw and intimate look at the challenges Chuong faced in his early life and how his military career profoundly shaped him.
