I am too in tears when I read the article so I shared it on Hmong
Minnesota Radio last night and here what I learned from the listeners:
1. Father still alive and live in Minnesota. He should be the one to
establish the headstones. He was giving enough money to make one, but
he didn't.
2. Regardless of what the past was, for 10 years and still no
headstones, we as community should do something about it.
3. Talked to the father first before the community do anything.
4. This is the work of the non-profit organizations that so called
representing the Hmong community - listener talked to me after the
radio.
5. Father said and promised his family member that he will get one
long time ago.
Here is what I think:
Regardless of the past, whatever the past was, it does not take much
to get one headstones for all six children, we Hmong community should
come together to make this a possible mission. Let them be known to
passer of who they were? Let them be rest like everyone else of their
neighbors.
Yes, the father should take responsibilities of this whole thing, but
didn't happen for 10 years. These were young innocent children. As a
Hmong, it hurts to see that for 10 years these innocent children had
no headstones.
Now your turn:
What do you all think about it?
What can we do?
What should we do?
What we must not do because....?
We Are One,
