Yawg Laug Txawj Vam & SCHlers,

A group of us had already started the conversation in trying to
contact the paternal family, the Tou Kong's (Hang), and seek
permission to contribute fund in installing some sort of a marking for
the children...these are not just the Kong/Hang's children, but all
Hmong's. They are our children now and that's why we've found
ourselves to be so charged and emotional about the unmarked grave
site...

Anyone interested, please supply your contact info to me and will keep
all posted on what will transpire...

NOTE: if anyone knows of where we can best contact the member of the
paternal family please let me know...the few people and place/
locations we thought the contact may have been were not successful...

Ua tsaug,
