Many K-12 and higher educational establishments in the Central Valley are Hmong-serving institutions. The Central Valley has been the new home to thousands of Hmong refugees who arrived in the United States (U.S.) after the Secret War. However, the Hmong people's history and war-torn experiences remain invisible in the educational system and a mystery to society at large. Therefore, it is essential for our nation to honor the Hmong boys and men who fought fiercely alongside the U.S. soldiers and those who lost their lives. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency recruited the Hmong men and boys to fight alongside the Americans and against the communists in Laos from 1961 to 1975. This war was known as the Secret War, America's deadliest war. The Hmong people have endured and overcame great challenges throughout their history of migration before resettling in the U.S. and around the world. This qualitative study used narrative inquiry to highlight the lived experiences of 10 Hmong soldiers who served in the Secret War. This study highlighted the contributions of Hmong soldiers in the Secret War and provided a better understanding of how their war-torn experiences have influenced their educational aspirations. The four vital themes that emerged were 1) the life experiences of Hmong soldiers during the Secret War, 2) the importance of family, religion, and culture, 3) Hmong soldiers' transition from Laos to a new life in America, and 4) it was worth the sacrifice.
