“I am relieved to learn that the "Thank You, America" Vietnam Memorial Monument has since been recovered and returned to its rightful place. This monument holds deep significance for Santa Clara County's Vietnamese American community and serves as a lasting tribute to the Vietnamese people's fight for freedom, democracy, and human dignity.”
