## Resource

A powerful symbol of Vietnamese-American unity was brutally vandalized in San Jose, with the Vietnamese soldier figure ripped from its base—just as the community was celebrating its recent unveiling. The statue, honoring the post-war bond between the two nations, stands as a beacon in a city home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. While police recovered the piece over the weekend, the motive remains unknown, and the investigation is far from over. For many, this act isn’t just vandalism—it’s a deep wound to history and heritage. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
