Tâm Vũ, Valerie Plesch and Daniella ZalcmanApril 29, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. EDTJust nowHalf a century after the end of the Vietnam War, many of the survivors are still wrestling with what it all meant. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese people settled in the United States in the years after the war’s end on April 30, 1975. For many of them, the anniversary marks a complex turning point: the reluctant end of their lives in Vietnam and the hope of brighter days in America.

When President Trump told me he would nominate me to direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I was deeply honored. I carry not only the dreams of my parents but the hopes of millions of Americans who stand for justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
