I love both of their works. Hopefully they continue to collaborate in the future, I'd love to see a story or graphic novel by both of them!

The idea of writing a memoir intrigues me as a boat refugee from VN coming to America at 14 without my parents. I was placed in a foster care system, and I can speak of the experience of having to assimilate into the new culture. As a 30-year Navy vet and an educator now, I am sad to see children coming from dysfunctional families being raised by single moms or dads. The society drifted into a culture of wokeism, a form of communism from which I escaped. I came to America during the Reagan era with his vision of America as a shining city on the hill and a beacon of hope for the world. I hope to restore that vision of America to the next generation, which has lost its national identity, according to former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
