On Saturday, March 13, the City of Clovis presented a proclamation honoring Lt. Col. Wangyee Vang, Ph.D. for his military service, and advocacy for his native home of Laos. He served as a pivotal advocate for the Hmong and Laos community in Fresno and Clovis. Vang was known by many for his integrity, honesty and his willingness to help others. Longtime friend of Lt. Col. Vang is Bee Vang, a U.S. veteran who met Vang while volunteering during Vang’s time as the president of Laos Veterans of America.
