On this episode of Our American Stories, after the United States pulled out of Vietnam, its allies in Indochina were alone-faced with the prospect of slavery, torture, and death at the hands of the Communists they fought against. When the Tai Don people wrote a letter to 30 US governors asking to be resettled, only one took up the cause-Robert Ray, the governor of Iowa. Matthew R. Walsh tells the story of this remarkable man, driven by his faith and commitment to helping his fellow man.
