Mới gần đây buổi hội thảo gọi là thượng đỉnh tại thư viện Lyndon B Johnson, phía
Hoa Kỳ đă cố t́nh bóp méo lịch sử tự phỉ nhổ danh dự của nước Mỹ khi cố t́nh xóa
bỏ một thành phần quan trọng trong cuộc chiến Việt Nam, một quốc gia đă kư kết
trong bản Hiệp Định Paris về Việt Nam 27-1-1973. Đó là quốc gia Việt Nam Cộng
Ḥa và quân lực VNCH. Trong thực tế dù quốc gia Việt Nam Cộng ḥa đă bị tiêu
diệt, quân đội VNCH đă bị xóa sổ từ ngày 30- 4 -1975 nhưng lịch sử thế giới vẩn
không thể phủ nhận SỰ THẬT là Hoa Kỳ đă đến Việt Nam dưới chiêu bài “bảo vệ thế
giới tự do” để tiến hành cuộc chiến cùng với quân đội VNCH.
Lực lượng chính đảm nhận trọng trách chồng lại sự xâm lăng của Quốc Tế Cộng Sản
không ai khác hơn là quốc gia Việt Nam Cộng Ḥa và lực lượng quân đội bản xứ.
Đứng trước sự bóp méo, nhào nặn lịch sử một cách thô bỉ của chính giới và giới
quân sự hiện nay, chúng ta những người công dân và cựu công dân, cựu quân cán
chính VNCH hăy giữ ḷng tự trọng và liêm sỉ của chính ḿnh bằng cách cương quyết
không tham gia bất kỳ một buổi tưởng niệm, vinh danh hay hội thảo, hội luận về
“Chiến Tranh Việt Nam” nếu không có sự công bằng trước lịch sử. Không ai có
quyền xem thường lịch sử, bởi lịch sử sẽ dậy cho họ những bài học lớn lao.
Những tên đế quốc thiếu giáo dục có láo xược đến đâu cũng không thoát khỏi sự
phê phán của những sử gia chân chính. Hăy giữ lấy niềm hănh diện v́ chúng ta đă
từng phục vụ v́ không thế lực nào chối bỏ được SỰ THẬT. Niềm hănh diện đó không
phải là việc trương cờ hay hát quốc ca trong sự phân biệt đối xử của một bọn ngu
xuẩn làm bạc giả, nhất thời đánh tráo lịch sử.
Trước đây hơn hai mươi năm thay mặt cho những Vietnamese Commandos, chúng tôi đă
dạy cho Hoa Kỳ một bài học lịch sử đưa đến sự kiện Quốc Hội Hoa Kỳ phải ra mấy
văn bản sau:
(1) South Vietnam, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, and the
Philippines contributed military forces, together with the United States, during
military operations conducted in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict.
(2) The contributions of the combat forces from these nations continued through
long years of armed conflict.
(3) As a result, in addition to the United States casualties exceeding 210,000,
this willingness to participate in the Vietnam conflict resulted in the death,
and wounding of more than 1,000,000 military personnel from South Vietnam and
16,000 from other allied nations.
(4) The service of the Vietnamese and other allied nations was repeatedly marked
by exceptional heroism and sacrifice, with particularly noteworthy contributions
being made by the Vietnamese airborne, commando, infantry and ranger units, the
Republic of Korea marines, the Capital and White Horse divisions, the Royal Thai
Army Black Panther Division, the Royal Australian Regiment, the New Zealand ÀV'
force, and the 1st Philippine Civic Action Group.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS- Congress recognizes and honors the members and former
members of the military forces of South Vietnam, the Republic of Korea,
Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines for their heroism,
sacrifice and service in connection with United States Armed Forces during the
Vietnam conflict.
(1) South Vietnamese commandos were recruited by the United States as part of
OPLAN 34A or its predecessor or OPLAN 35 from 1961 to 1970.
(2) The commandos conducted covert operations in North Vietnam during the
Vietnam conflict.
(3) Many of the commandos were captured and imprisoned by North Vietnamese
forces, some for as long as 20 years.
(4) The commandos served and fought proudly during the Vietnam conflict.
(5) Many of the commandos lost their lives serving in operations conducted by
the United States during the Vietnam conflict.
(6) Many of the Vietnamese commandos now reside in the United States.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS–Congress recognizes and honors the former South Vietnamese
commandos for their heroism, sacrifice, and service in connection with United
States armed forces during the Vietnam conflict.
(Ms. SANCHEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute
and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, 2 weeks ago the House Committee on National Security
unanimously approved my amendment to honor and recognize the former South
Vietnamese army commandos who were employees of the United States Government
during the Vietnam War.
Today, the Members of this House had the opportunity to properly honor those
brave men by supporting the Department of Defense authorization bill for fiscal
year 1999.
Last year, the President signed into law legislation that I advocated to ensure
that the United States Government honor a 30-year-old bad debt and pay these men
who worked for the United States Government the wages they earned but were
denied during the Vietnam War.
These individuals were trained by the Pentagon to infiltrate and destabilize
communist North Vietnam.
Many of these commandos were captured and tortured while in prison for 15 to 20
years, and many never made it out.
Declassified DOD documents showed that U.S. officials wrote off the commandos as
dead even though they knew from various sources that many were alive in
Vietnamese prisons.
The documents also show that U.S. officials lied to the soldiers' wives, paid
them tiny `Death Gratuities' and washed their hands of the matter.
For example, Mr. Ha Van Son was listed as dead by our Government in 1967,
although he was known to be in a communist prison in North Vietnam. Today he is
very much alive and well and living in Chamblee, GA. In my hand I hold the
United States Government's official declaration of his death.
Because it was a secret covert operation, the U.S. Government thought they could
easily ignore the commandos, their families, friends, and their previous
contacts without anyone noticing.
As the Senior Senator from Pennsylvania said in a recent hearing, `This is a
genuinely incredible story of callous, inhumane, and really barbaric treatment
by the United States.'
In the 104th Congress, this House approved legislation that required the
Department of Defense to pay reparations to the commandos.
This bill would have provided $20 million to the commandos and their survivors,
an average grant of about $40,000 per commando. It called them to be paid $2,000
a year for every year they were in prison, less than the wages they were due.
President Clinton signed this legislation into law (Public Law 104-201).
However, in April of 1997, the Department of Defense said that the statute was
legislatively flawed and the Secretary could not legally make payments.
I then contacted Secretary Cohen requesting the administration's help to correct
this error.
The administration responded by supporting inclusion of the funding in the
Supplemental Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 1997 (Public Law 105-18)
Last year, I met at a public forum with 40 commandos from my district.
One individual shared with me his story of how he parachuted into enemy
territory, was captured, convicted of treason, beaten, thrown into solitary
confinement for 11 months, then moved among hard--labor camps for the next seven
years.
His story is not unlike countless others. I request unanimous consent to insert
into the record one story of this abuse headlined `Uncommon Betrayal' as
reported by an Atlantia newspaper recently.
Today, however, I am pleased to provide this Body with this update.
To date, the Commando Compensation Board has been established at the Pentagon;
266 claims have been processed; 142 Commandos have been paid.
All this was made possible because of the commitment of this House.
After years of torture by the North Vietnamese, the callousness of being
declared dead by the United States Government, and years of anguish over not
receiving their rightful compensation--these brave men now deserve recognition.
The South Vietnamese Lost Army Commandos are finally a step closer to having the
United States Government honor their contracts for their years of service to the
United States Army.
I am proud that the members of the House had an opportunity to properly honor
these brave men
We can not bring those who perished back, but we can give these individuals the
dignity and respect that's been so long overdue.
Who supports this resolution?
The State of California American Legion strongly endorses this amendment and I
would like to submit the letter from the Department Commander Frank Larson into
the Record.
In Commander Larson's letter dated May 1, 1998, he states, `Ms. Sanchez: I'm
sure if history were unfolded for all to see it would show that the South
Vietnamese commandos, who aided the United States Government in covert actions
against the North Vietnamese, were responsible for saving many American lives.'
It goes on to say: `To that end, the same recognition due our soldiers, sailors,
marines and airman involved in the Vietnamese Conflict should be afforded to the
former South Vietnamese commandos, who so gallantly served and endured.'
It is also supported by: The Air Commando Organization; The Special Forces
Organization.
American veterans who fought side by side with the Commandos, come to their
defense in
letters of support.
I would like to share with you what our soldiers have to say about the
commandos.
This letter comes from a special forces NCO:
`Dear Sir: I had the opportunity to work with these men in which they not only
risked their lives, but continually put themselves in harms way. * * * We are
aware of terrible trials and conditions these men endured for so long and we
would like to help * * *'
I would also like to take this opportunity to mention that last year, during
POW/MIA recognition day, I had the opportunity to meet with several members of
my veteran community.
I had the opportunity to speak with former POWs and family members whose loved
ones were taken as prisoners or declared missing in action. Several of the
veterans mentioned their support for the Commandos and urged that the Government
honor its word.
Today, we gave these commandos what they really wanted, the distinction of
honoring their service in the Vietnam War. And on behalf of the 40 commandos
residing in the 46th Congressional District of California, I would like to thank
the Members of this body for their commitment to honor and to recognize the
former South Vietnamese army commandos.
Mr. Speaker, I submit for the Record a series of documents relating to these
former South Vietnamese commandos.

Đây là những bằng chứng bất khả phủ bác về sự hợp tác giữa Hoa Kỳ và Việt Nam
Cộng Ḥa nằm trong Thư Viện Quốc Hội Hoa Kỳ. Đáng tiếc cho những người quốc gia
thay v́ biết vận dụng sự thành công của chúng tôi để bắt tay cùng tiến hành
những việc hữu ích cho người quốc gia ngược lại hấu hết đều nảy sanh óc ghen
tỵ, quay qua tự bôi bác lịch sử, ra sức tự bôi tro trát trấu vào chính quốc thể
của ḿnh nên ngày nay phải chịu nhục nhă v́ sự khinh khi của Hoa Kỳ âu đó cũng
là “quả báo nhăn tiền” mà thôi.
Trân trọng
