In this episode, we return with Dr. Nam C. Kim, an anthropologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to reflect on the 50th anniversary of the arrival of Vietnamese refugees to Guam in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.

Dr. Kim shares details about a new project launching in 2025, supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, that explores the legacies of Operation New Life—the massive humanitarian effort that temporarily housed tens of thousands of Vietnamese evacuees on Guam in 1975.

We discuss the stories, memories, and resilience of those connected to the camps—from former refugees to military personnel, volunteers, and local communities. Dr. Kim’s team aims to uncover and preserve these narratives, and they’re actively inviting contributions from anyone with a personal or family connection to this pivotal moment in history.

If you or someone you know has memories, stories, or artifacts related to Operation New Life, please visit www.onlguam.org to learn more or get in touch.
