Quang X. Pham
Quang Pham knows firsthand about perseverance, duty, freedom and entrepreneurship. At age 10, he came to the U.S. from Vietnam with his mother and sisters, shortly after Saigon's fall. His father remained behind, incarcerated for more than 12 years in communist reeducation camps. Pham went on to become a UCLA grad, the first Vietnamese Marine aviator, and founder of a multi-million dollar corporation, Lathian Systems. His memoir, A Sense of Duty, details his journey in America as an uprooted refugee.
