This day in history, June 6 1975, 36 years ago, as refugee from Cambodia, with my sister and my 4 children we landed in America at an airport in California and later transferred to the Marines Camp Pendleton refugee reception center. We flew from Utapao Air Base in Thailand. The process to get a sponsor took almost a month and on July 3rd we received the I-94 with refugee status as parolee. We celebrated July 4th in the camp and the next day we were transferred to a transit center near by before flying to Seatac airport in Seattle. We were received by Lutheran family in Lynnwood where we stay until now.
It was the beginning of a new adventure with ups and downs...
