You have a 4 & 2 year old and a wife that is 7 months pregnant.  You are being hunted by North Vietnamese Soldiers because your older brothers helped in Americans in the Vietnam war.  What do you do? 

You make it out alive, but don't know the language and have no money, what do you do? 

Join me in this 2 part interview as we learn See's story and one very similar to many Hmong and Laoations who escaped Laos to ensure their safety. 

The story is only beginning with their escape though.  We start to get into See's story a little more which sets us up for Part 2 where we learn how she overcame losses in pregnancy and hardships in a marriage. 

Join me as I read a story from the 'Angels Beside You' book by James Pruitt. This is one of Michael and my favorite books that recounts stories of angels in the battle field.  This is a story from WW2 and a miraculous account that changed the course of one Soldier's life. It's an amazing way to honor those fallen in combat. 

Rising & Climbing is so much easier when you have energy and passion to do so. Dana is a perfect example of the power of health and a passion.
