The 200 Montagnards coming to the United States from the Philippines next month represent in a real sense the thousands of Montagnards who fought and gave their lives along with American and South Vietnamese soldiers. We. as a people and a nation. owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. The Montagnards. in every sense. are Vietnam veterans. Mr. President. many in North Carolina are ready and eager to make the upcoming resettlement of the Montagnards an answer to previously overlooked promises. But they cannot do it alone. They need the help of other Americans. and I urge my fellow citizens to assist in the North Carolina effort.
