My daughter finally able to come to US from the Philippines at the age of 13 yrs old in 2005. She's only 4'11" in height but very good in school back in the Philippines. I knew back then she will struggle with culture shock, no friends, know nothing about school system in the US. But one thing I adviced her: "If you want to be wanted, show your classmates that you are smart and be humble at the same time". In short period of time she got American friends (White, Black, Asian, Hispanic) and up to this day, most of them are still her friends. I came here in the US in 1995 and I remember when my American co-workers told me that I am patriotic and love this country more than they do.
I dont know if this message was suppose to rip on my heart as I did. Or move my convictions to a higher level or solidify my resolve as a man and as a Warrior for The Most High. But it has done all and more. 🙏🏼🙌🏼🇺🇲 Oppressors Beware, For we are the children of The Most High and in His Word we live and will die. To all evil that comes We Will Defy! Bless you Tu.
The Most High has always had His mighty men that do Righteous Violence in the name of YHWH. What is righteousness you ask, blamelessly walking in the commands of Yah. So yes evil will continue to exist and the righteous of Yah and in the name of Yashua violence is necessary at times. Believe it my friend.
Also you're painting a broad brush over all soldiers. This is a mistake as I believe soldiers are not a dime a dozen and have minds and hearts of their own.
Tu lam has inspired me when I thought all my goals were accomplished in life, I thought I was just supposed to coast by now. I joined the Army completed 3 combat tours (missed both my kids births) and became a police officer. I suffered a severe spinal cord injury setting me back and feeling defeated. I felt as if I did everything I needed to do and started to lose motivation. Movement is life, we all need to keep moving. Tu Lam is a true inspiration and the definition of what America stands for.
I needed this Tu. I’ve been struggling lately to get motivated and find my purpose again. Was a drug addict for almost 10 years and completely turned my life around but these past 3 weeks have been filled with guilt, depression, and no motivation to push forward. I needed to hear this today. Thank you 🙏
I’ve always wondered why you went with the Ronin name. Growing up as an Asian kid in America you have always got to be 100xs tougher than the other kids. Thanks for sharing your story!
Goddam straight to the point. Like he read my mind. A lot of people have no control of their thoughts and they get trapped in hate and regret about their past when they need to treat the past as experience to develop themselves.
Thank you, brother Tu for your service to this great country. Your message is really needed during this trying times especially for the Asians. They have been victimized almost daily from SF to NY. Despite all the attacks and hates, I am guiding my kids to read the books and grow to be a force of their own just like you.
Mr. Tu Lam…I want to take this minute to say THANK YOU Sir!…it’s funny yet very satisfying sometimes how the universe works…this video IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR…for the last 2 years I’ve been working my butt off to get out of the giant hole I put myself in…and I absolutely except that responsibility no question…but as all of us know it can become overwhelming and very taxing on our mind body n soul…but…you…this video…and passion showed up on my feed…and it couldn’t have came at a better time…time to dust myself off get up and GET F’N AFTER IT…again Tu I say thank you 🙏🏼 🇺🇸
This is exactly what I needed to hear EXACTLY when I needed to hear it. I believe God works & weaves in mysterious ways. Thank you for what you do. I’m trudging through life with a purpose I’ve just lost myself in hate and I’m not sure why I continue, I just do. All seems extremely hopeless but I have no choice but to continue however it’s the WHY that I need to reconnect with. Much love stay frosty, STAY DANGEROUS ☮️
Man I am so jealous (in a good way) of you guys sitting there listening to the "why" from Tu. He is talking about "mindset", to put it in a word. Really good stuff.
🎄Wow, powerful words, as you told your story I felt this knot in my throat and heart which almost made me shed tears for you man. I have heard others tell their stories, but somehow yours touched very deep into my soul. I’m sorry that you and your family went through so much heartship and pain, you are a true American hero and I thank you for your service brother. I am a Vietnam era veteran from: 1970-1974 US ARMY. Walk on brother and peace to you ! Lol 😔👊🏼🙏🏼
The important point of your story is that the character you received from your mother helped you to overcome your difficulties in your childhood. You became a honorable citizen & one I would be proud to say your a friend! 👍😊🇺🇸✝️
Your story is incredible. God bless you and your message and your commitment to doing good despite being rasied in darkness. Your message will give hope and direction to millions of confused and lost souls. You will inspire millions of soldiers of the light.
I came across this video today at arguably a top 3 lowest moment of my life. I am ill, not allowed to come back to work because of it for the time being, and I am lacking hope and purpose. I was a relentlessly motivated, service-driven guy by nature keeping myself busy and seeking fulfillment through my efforts to serve others in a way I enjoy. Now at the time I viewed this and listened carefully to every word, I can have considerable difficulty just walking around or standing up from my bed. I really dug deep inside to tune into that man I know is still inside me. I self-critiqued, evaluated, and asked some hard questions. All of this rocked my world and gave me the perspective in order to understand I can, and should, employ more discipline to modify self-defeating behavior, implement better sleeping, eating, and exercise healthy habits to improve my mental health. To try elevating myself higher than what I feel keeps me down in order to strategize a plan of attack. A plan to attack and overcome the adversity that is latching on painfully and tightly. I am so appreciative for your wise words, Tu. For sharing your story. Your journey that has positively influenced my own and served, to me, as a powerful wake-up call.
Here, this evening, shown a bright star amidst the chaos. How blessed are those who hear these words, words of strife, words of struggle, and, from it all, a true message of hope, of inspiration, of the "why". Thank you, Tu, for sharing.
Thank you for your service thank those who fought by your side who are no longer here, I thank you as a man and as a retired Law Enforcement officer thank you for sharing your thoughts and words of enlightenment ....I thank you ......OSU. May God bless you and your loved ones always and a very blessed Holiday.
Tu, you are a light in this dark time we are in. I struggle with my own demons and I have to fight everyday to stay on the right path. Thank you for all you have done and do. Thank you for spreading your message and continuing to give a light to those of us that need it.
You are the man Tu. I came to watch your videos to learn about gun handling, but to my suprise left learning more about life and how to be better as a person. Thank you for giving us these lessons.
WOW!!!! Tu this was amazing I was always trapped in my mistakes from the passed but no more I finally understand my why thank 🙏 you One day I will have the privilege of taking 1 of your classes...
I love you brother! Best idol and inspirational person roaming the earth right now. Very disciplined, knowledgeable mentor. If it wasn’t for Tu, and his motivation I wouldn’t push myself to read books especially the book of 5 rings. Learning to do room clearing and tactics for 60 mins every night in my basement, practice reloading and weapon manipulation. Practicing and researching the way of the warrior etc. thanks for your content ronin. Hope to go to your trainings soon after I get finish police academy this January. Thank you 🇺🇸
Thanks Tu ur a amazing dude! I respect u a lot. Thanks for serving our country and now helping make it a better place and training people for self defense u rock!!! 💯
Tu Lam! You represent all that is RIGHT in the world! Thank you for sharing this video! I have been following you and sharing your story with my friends and family! I first discovered you on The Shawn Ryan Show! Thank you!🇺🇸 My cousin was in 3rd Group, “De Oppresso Libre “
Tu, I was around 10 when the US and North Vietnam signed the treaty ending hostilities, and a couple of years older when the North invaded. I was in high school when refugees from the south started getting resettled in my home town, and I heard a lot of rumors that weren’t true. My conservative Christian working class family at least didn’t encourage looking down noses at anyone. At least one teacher in my school did make a point to explain how many Vietnamese families survived in a new lane where they felt about as welcome as you did, yet pooled their efforts and resources in order to make the best of a bad situation. That point has stayed with me. Old American Viet Nam vets who served as mentors to me as well as studying the history not taught in schools helped me realize the struggles the refugees from communism in Asia really had to endure. Thank you for your perseverance and your service to this Nation. Thank you for your continued service after retirement. I appreciate your training videos. I really appreciate this one as continue to pursue my “why.”
God Bless you Tu. You are an inspiration to many (including myself). Thank you for sharing your story, your lessons and your why. Keep up the good work sir.
I'm black and while I'm not racist at all I've also seldom heard other "minorities" speak, in a fashion that I could relate to. A fashion that moved me when they talked about their struggles. This moved me. This was powerful.
Inspired every time I listen to you Tu. You truly and genuinely speak from the heart. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it is not going to waste. 🤜🤛🇺🇲
Im very sorry to hear about how you and your family were treated coming here! I truly think its disgusting! I grew up poor also and can completely relate to that side of your story. I want to thank you for sharing your story and experiences! I truly enjoy your content and philosophy! And from the bottom of my heart I want to apologize for the disgusting ignorance of others and they way you and your loved ones were treated! Thank you very much for the content and your service and all you did for this country even AFTER those negative experiences! Sincerely thank you sir!
Thank you Tu. Meditation 🧘♀️ is a blessing. Meditation is limitless. NDE experiences on TH-cam and meditation have seasoned the present for me, enormously. Blessings and prosperity brother. Your service is invaluable to more than can be counted. Your such a gift that cannot be measured, other than inner gratitude. Gods hand on your path
Those humans that chose to spend their life energy in that destructive ignorance, I pray God shattered that and rebuilt them into humble humans. NDE experience reviews have helped me see differently. Some humans are stuck on a stupid path, until something changes that. Hope for the lost, meditate and pray for them.
@@charleyarchuleta4932 I had a lot of shit wrong before my own NDE. If people only knew who and what we truly are, and just how connected we are...brother...there would be a lot of people who are suffering right now laughing and loving life. Sending you Love, light, and prayers you stay on that path to loving every human being like you would want to be loved and helping the ones that aren't very good at it. The only currency we have is Love. Everything else is an illusion. The only debt we owe is the pain we cause others. In the end, we have to live with our true selves. No more egos. No more excuses or justifications. Just the truth.
@@vincec.202 bro your a Jedi!! “ Love is currency.” It is the essence of God and all things through and through. We all live in the light of continuous enlightenment. This tour here is a blink. I pray that Lense of my mind keeps true focus in every present moment, what people “are”, how connected we are even with those that are the worst part of us. Your right, we are all apart of one. Some live this breath in the worst manifestation of our shared breath in this earth. Live, love, be kind. Tu, gets it.
Strong Will, Strong WHY,..Strong Life! Thankyou for sharing this Tu ! I remember alot of it from your interview with Shawn Ryan. You are a True Champion of Life and a Warrior 1stClass!! Much Respect.
You guys always come out with these inspirational videos at a point when I (and we as the viewers) need it whether we know it or not. I am at the fork of my path and honestly lost. Makes me think about the path i have been on and now another test to my "why". Dont pray for the easy life..
Amazing speech. Amazing story of yours, a true warrior and role model. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it reaches the youth of today. God bless.
Tu, that was deep as hell. Wish I would have herd this 20 + years ago. Thank you sir. I'm blessed to be born in the US. I will never know the struggles you went through. But I will take your words I herd today and look for my WHY. Honestly, if I was asked that question, I would have no answer. I have been through many hardships I'm my existence that I thought made me a better person. But after listening to you I realize the way I've made through my hardship was with hate. Hate is a powerful weapon but should not be the soul way to make it through bad situations in life. I now understand this. Thank you Tu!!!! God bless you and you're family and brothers in arms. And most of all thank you and you're brothers in arms for you're service.
I heard your life story on the Vigilance Elite. It was very amazing to me to watch how God watched over you through your life. To see you rise above all of it to become the amazing man you are today. I'm a old Jarhead and I respect all branches of the military. I just wanted to thank you for your service, and continued service to others. I've adapted many of my shooting skills off things you have shown in your video's. Sharpened my skills with your amazing knife & hand gun skills. I watched your philosophies and adapted some to my own life style. I just want to say from one warrior to another God bless, and Semper Fi. I'd love to get the opportunity to train with you some day and shake your hand face to face.
You sir are an inspiration! At 54, former Navy, and someone that has never really found the true meaning of life, I still deal with a lot of demons. I have made so many bad decisions in my life that every day is a struggle with those decisions. This video really hit me. Hit me in a good way and has given me much to think about and how to dig out of this hell hole I put myself in years ago. I plan to watch this video many mor times, take notes and begin the process of the dig out. I first saw you on Vigilance Elite and that was an incredible segment. I have seen all of your videos now and by far this one is most inspiring. Thank you for that. I hope that some day I could meet you in person, shake your hand, thank you for your service and thank you for inspiring me and many others. You are not only the warrior of wars but the warrior of life. Very few have the understanding of what life really is. It’s time we all take note and learn from you. Self control, self love, self respect and a thirst for higher learning and most of never give up. Thank you again and please do more videos like this on. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I have never seen anyone who is more of a warrior then Tu, everything from his use of firearms and conventional weapons to his warrior spirituality and philosophy, I hope I can take one of his courses one day, I learn a lot from his videos, could only imagine the knowledge gained from a in person course.
Amen Tu...Thank you for all you have done and your service to our adopted country. Personally I want thank you for being a great mentor of mine. I know your story well because I have lived a similar life and have had a similar path growing up here in America brother. I am a fellow hard to pronouce named American-Laotian U.S. Army veteran & former LE to now serving my community as a High School World History Teacher & Coach (Once a warrior...always a protector). With your permission I would like to use this video in my classes when I teach about the Vietnam war and the Secret war in Laos. Just so you know...I ask my students and athletes everyday in class & on the football field the following question: "What happened this morning? You woke up...now live today to it's fullest, have no regrets & give your best effort in everthing you do today." Again, thanks for all you do in our freedom ensuring community, I hope & look forward to attending one of your classes in the future. Happy belated b-day and blessings to you and your family...from a brother in TX.
Some day I will meet you in person sir and it will be my honor to shake your hand. Im a fan thank you for your service and all you keep doing for Law Enforcement. GodBless
You are a True Gentleman, Thank you for your service and sharing your life story. There is no question you are a Hero and an inspirational highly educated individual who many should try to emulate, There is only one Tu. Again , MUCH respect and Thank you. God Bless🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this story. It goes to show; you can be different and STILL be a fighting man, still serve the country you love without having to explain yourself or ask for special treatment. I think many so called ”patriots” need to hear this story. To know the struggle and the determination that grows in the hearts of those who have to fight both the enemy abroad AND the hate from those they have sworn to protect and STILL come out on top. ✌🏾😊
When this man sat on the PDB podcast as a Vietnamese immigrant. He was spat on, hated, attacked. And even after all of this, he referred to other Americans as "our people" when discussing why he put his life on the line to protect the country that once hated him. God bless you! 🇨🇦
God had his hand on you your whole life ! And allowed you to become a mighty warrior for him in fighting evil on this earth , thank you for your loyal service to our nation, cause like you said our lives are defined by our choices and you sir had many challenges that could of influenced your choices in many ways! May God continue to bless you and your family !
The irony is the more i expose myself to discomfort the less i feel discomfort. I also wake up at 4am and run when it is night and fog iin the forest, i didnt know you wake up at 4 am. I wanted and i still want to join my army but idk if i will succeed even joining or becoming a professional soldier. I just try to be real and prepared for anything, even the fact that i might fail my task but as you said we have no control over the future only over what we do now so that is what im focused on right now,i noticed that the more i expose myself to pain and discomfort that i focus less on all of that and i realised how trivial some problems in life are and what a big deal we make of those small problems, but you really went through hell and i congratulate you for managing to fight your way out of it,i seriously have nothing to complain about once i heard your story. All that i can do now as a thank you to what you said is keep going with my routine,even though i could do so much more... And i should and i will.Im also working on saying calm and focused under any kind of press ure i stumble upon and practicing that means the world to me and idk where i learned that but every time i take a breath in and out i feel calmer and calmer, its like all i ever wanted was to feel calm, but i have been doing it wrong until i realised how to do that.

Right on
Could not have said it better myself!
YOU believe YASHUA honors killers? A soldier is nothing but a government trained killer...Good luck with that.....
The Most High has always had His mighty men that do Righteous Violence in the name of YHWH. What is righteousness you ask, blamelessly walking in the commands of Yah. So yes evil will continue to exist and the righteous of Yah and in the name of Yashua violence is necessary at times. Believe it my friend.

Sail on bro. You got it.
Stop smoking
Get clean Sir. One day at the time. I am sober for 25y, and I am no regret for that decision. Hope you are OK and well. S R !
Happy late birthday Tu! Thank you for serving our country and teaching us what you have learned over the years. We appreciate you more than you know!
Nothing but RESPECT ✊🏿 thank you for sharing this!!!
I’ve always wondered why you went with the Ronin name. Growing up as an Asian kid in America you have always got to be 100xs tougher than the other kids. Thanks for sharing your story!
I was a young immigrant as well, I appreciate you sharing your experience. You are truly a hero. I salute you for your service, Mr. Tu.
Your Mother is a Great Woman. She is Blessed. Peace Brother
I wish I could trade the money I spent on college courses and put it in Tu’s training courses. God bless and happy birthday boss!
Goddam straight to the point. Like he read my mind. A lot of people have no control of their thoughts and they get trapped in hate and regret about their past when they need to treat the past as experience to develop themselves.

Mr. Tu Lam…I want to take this minute to say THANK YOU Sir!…it’s funny yet very satisfying sometimes how the universe works…this video IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR…for the last 2 years I’ve been working my butt off to get out of the giant hole I put myself in…and I absolutely except that responsibility no question…but as all of us know it can become overwhelming and very taxing on our mind body n soul…but…you…this video…and passion showed up on my feed…and it couldn’t have came at a better time…time to dust myself off get up and GET F’N AFTER IT…again Tu I say thank you 🙏🏼 🇺🇸
Hearing this and I could hear his voice breaking at times. This is what tells me that he truly believes in his way. Master Tu Lam, This is the way.
This is exactly what I needed to hear EXACTLY when I needed to hear it. I believe God works & weaves in mysterious ways. Thank you for what you do. I’m trudging through life with a purpose I’ve just lost myself in hate and I’m not sure why I continue, I just do. All seems extremely hopeless but I have no choice but to continue however it’s the WHY that I need to reconnect with.
Much love stay frosty, STAY DANGEROUS ☮️
Man I am so jealous (in a good way) of you guys sitting there listening to the "why" from Tu. He is talking about "mindset", to put it in a word. Really good stuff.

I see a lot of similarities in my life from your story. Listening to you really gave me a boost. Thank you Tu, much respect. Greetings from Europe.
Wise words from a very wise man thank you for your sacrifice and service then and now. Live with purpose and know your why
The important point of your story is that the character you received
from your mother helped you to
overcome your difficulties in
your childhood. You became a
honorable citizen & one I would
be proud to say your a friend!

I could listen to this man all day long. Incredible story. Tu, thank you for serving our country and sharing your wisdom 🇺🇸
You are a blessing, sir. Thank you for showing the path. Narrow is the way
Deep words from a very honorable and strong individual.
and some say a warrior needs a cold heart.
actually its quite the opposite.
Thank you Tu
for being you
legend himself if it wasnt for ronin idk what i would be doing right now thank you for helping us through hard times
Thank you Mr Lam. For reminding us of what a true Patriot looks and sounds like. May God make his face to shine on you and yours 🙏
One of the best talks I've had the benefit of listening to. Thank you sir.

I’m convinced you were either someone else in a previous life or a time traveler…..wish I had found you sooner! 👊
Bless you…..and best wishes! 😊
God Bless you Tu. You are an inspiration to many (including myself). Thank you for sharing your story, your lessons and your why. Keep up the good work sir.
I'm black and while I'm not racist at all I've also seldom heard other "minorities" speak, in a fashion that I could relate to. A fashion that moved me when they talked about their struggles. This moved me. This was powerful.
Awesome story, mentoring, and motivation. Thank you.

"No matter conditions, or circumstances, we must help others, and in doing so, we make the world a better place." This is priceless.
Very powerful. Thanks for sharing, that's what I needed right now.
Thank you for these stories, lessons, inspirations and bringing peace Tu. Love from Philippines!
Thank you, Tu. You help to remind me of my why. America is lucky to have you.
Im very sorry to hear about how you and your family were treated coming here! I truly think its disgusting! I grew up poor also and can completely relate to that side of your story. I want to thank you for sharing your story and experiences! I truly enjoy your content and philosophy! And from the bottom of my heart I want to apologize for the disgusting ignorance of others and they way you and your loved ones were treated! Thank you very much for the content and your service and all you did for this country even AFTER those negative experiences! Sincerely thank you sir!
We’ll spoke we need more men like Tu a true warrior
Thank you Tu. Meditation 🧘♀️ is a blessing. Meditation is limitless. NDE experiences on TH-cam and meditation have seasoned the present for me, enormously. Blessings and prosperity brother. Your service is invaluable to more than can be counted. Your such a gift that cannot be measured, other than inner gratitude. Gods hand on your path
Those humans that chose to spend their life energy in that destructive ignorance, I pray God shattered that and rebuilt them into humble humans. NDE experience reviews have helped me see differently. Some humans are stuck on a stupid path, until something changes that. Hope for the lost, meditate and pray for them.
@@charleyarchuleta4932 I had a lot of shit wrong before my own NDE. If people only knew who and what we truly are, and just how connected we are...brother...there would be a lot of people who are suffering right now laughing and loving life. Sending you Love, light, and prayers you stay on that path to loving every human being like you would want to be loved and helping the ones that aren't very good at it. The only currency we have is Love. Everything else is an illusion. The only debt we owe is the pain we cause others. In the end, we have to live with our true selves. No more egos. No more excuses or justifications. Just the truth.
@@vincec.202 bro your a Jedi!! “ Love is currency.” It is the essence of God and all things through and through. We all live in the light of continuous enlightenment. This tour here is a blink. I pray that Lense of my mind keeps true focus in every present moment, what people “are”, how connected we are even with those that are the worst part of us. Your right, we are all apart of one. Some live this breath in the worst manifestation of our shared breath in this earth. Live, love, be kind. Tu, gets it.
Very well articulated. An honor to listen to.
Such an inspiring content , thank you Tu.You are inspiring many hidden voices 👍
Sir, thank you for everything that you do.
Strong Will, Strong WHY,..Strong Life! Thankyou for sharing this Tu ! I remember alot of it from your interview with Shawn Ryan. You are a True Champion of Life and a Warrior 1stClass!! Much Respect.
You guys always come out with these inspirational videos at a point when I (and we as the viewers) need it whether we know it or not. I am at the fork of my path and honestly lost. Makes me think about the path i have been on and now another test to my "why". Dont pray for the easy life..
Amazing speech. Amazing story of yours, a true warrior and role model. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it reaches the youth of today. God bless.
Tu, that was deep as hell. Wish I would have herd this 20 + years ago. Thank you sir. I'm blessed to be born in the US. I will never know the struggles you went through. But I will take your words I herd today and look for my WHY. Honestly, if I was asked that question, I would have no answer. I have been through many hardships I'm my existence that I thought made me a better person. But after listening to you I realize the way I've made through my hardship was with hate. Hate is a powerful weapon but should not be the soul way to make it through bad situations in life. I now understand this. Thank you Tu!!!! God bless you and you're family and brothers in arms. And most of all thank you and you're brothers in arms for you're service.
Wow! Thank you for sharing Tu! I needed to hear that!
Powerful message & one I needed to hear. Thank you sir for your service to this Great Nation & for this powerful message!
Thank you Tu! You are a true American hero, with the true american dream. You're a pioneer to the rest of us searching for and clinging to our why.
that's a good quote: "what a beautiful day. but you can't see it because hate blinds you from the world"
I heard your life story on the Vigilance Elite. It was very amazing to me to watch how God watched over you through your life. To see you rise above all of it to become the amazing man you are today. I'm a old Jarhead and I respect all branches of the military. I just wanted to thank you for your service, and continued service to others. I've adapted many of my shooting skills off things you have shown in your video's. Sharpened my skills with your amazing knife & hand gun skills. I watched your philosophies and adapted some to my own life style. I just want to say from one warrior to another God bless, and Semper Fi. I'd love to get the opportunity to train with you some day and shake your hand face to face.
Very powerful story Tu, much respect for you man ! God bless and Merry Christmas
that was fantastic thank you.. a great gift you have given me needed to hear this..
Powerful words, Tu. All respect in the world for you. US Navy Retired.
Thank you for sharing, a true inspiration, a true Champion, and a true American Samurai.
You sir are an inspiration! At 54, former Navy, and someone that has never really found the true meaning of life, I still deal with a lot of demons. I have made so many bad decisions in my life that every day is a struggle with those decisions. This video really hit me. Hit me in a good way and has given me much to think about and how to dig out of this hell hole I put myself in years ago. I plan to watch this video many mor times, take notes and begin the process of the dig out. I first saw you on Vigilance Elite and that was an incredible segment. I have seen all of your videos now and by far this one is most inspiring. Thank you for that. I hope that some day I could meet you in person, shake your hand, thank you for your service and thank you for inspiring me and many others. You are not only the warrior of wars but the warrior of life. Very few have the understanding of what life really is. It’s time we all take note and learn from you. Self control, self love, self respect and a thirst for higher learning and most of never give up. Thank you again and please do more videos like this on. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Don’t matter how many times I have heard this man’s story always gives me chills, god bless u brother
Thank you Tu for your words of wisdom
Thank you for your service.
May God Bless you and your family.
Kankakee, IL
This story is amazing and one of the best I've heard! A true asset to humanity and America
I have never seen anyone who is more of a warrior then Tu, everything from his use of firearms and conventional weapons to his warrior spirituality and philosophy, I hope I can take one of his courses one day, I learn a lot from his videos, could only imagine the knowledge gained from a in person course.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WAY THROUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE………..
Amen Tu...Thank you for all you have done and your service to our adopted country. Personally I want thank you for being a great mentor of mine. I know your story well because I have lived a similar life and have had a similar path growing up here in America brother. I am a fellow hard to pronouce named American-Laotian U.S. Army veteran & former LE to now serving my community as a High School World History Teacher & Coach (Once a warrior...always a protector). With your permission I would like to use this video in my classes when I teach about the Vietnam war and the Secret war in Laos. Just so you know...I ask my students and athletes everyday in class & on the football field the following question: "What happened this morning? You woke up...now live today to it's fullest, have no regrets & give your best effort in everthing you do today." Again, thanks for all you do in our freedom ensuring community, I hope & look forward to attending one of your classes in the future. Happy belated b-day and blessings to you and your family...from a brother in TX.
Some day I will meet you in person sir and it will be my honor to shake your hand. Im a fan thank you for your service and all you keep doing for Law Enforcement. GodBless
You are a True Gentleman, Thank you for your service and sharing your life story. There is no question you are a Hero and an inspirational highly educated individual who many should try to emulate, There is only one Tu. Again , MUCH respect and Thank you. God Bless🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this story. It goes to show; you can be different and STILL be a fighting man, still serve the country you love without having to explain yourself or ask for special treatment. I think many so called ”patriots” need to hear this story. To know the struggle and the determination that grows in the hearts of those who have to fight both the enemy abroad AND the hate from those they have sworn to protect and STILL come out on top. ✌🏾😊
What a breath of fresh air in this modern day generation of 😭😭😭😭😭😭
God and Country🇺🇸💯❤ Mahalo Tu "Semper Fi"
When this man sat on the PDB podcast as a Vietnamese immigrant. He was spat on, hated, attacked. And even after all of this, he referred to other Americans as "our people" when discussing why he put his life on the line to protect the country that once hated him.
God bless you! 🇨🇦
Thank you for your service and dedication to our great country! Thank you for sharing your story
God had his hand on you your whole life ! And allowed you to become a mighty warrior for him in fighting evil on this earth , thank you for your loyal service to our nation, cause like you said our lives are defined by our choices and you sir had many challenges that could of influenced your choices in many ways! May God continue to bless you and your family !
Tu, I could listen to you every day for the rest of my life..
Just love the way he tells a story. The inflections keep my mind engaged. Good stuff brothers
He is testifying....my heart is ready for the battle that is to come. My Why is more then me..
That was powerful, thank you for sharing
MUCH RESPECTS AS ALWAYS BRO. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO. STAY STRONG AMERICA
💪🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏽 STAY READY
The irony is the more i expose myself to discomfort the less i feel discomfort. I also wake up at 4am and run when it is night and fog iin the forest, i didnt know you wake up at 4 am. I wanted and i still want to join my army but idk if i will succeed even joining or becoming a professional soldier. I just try to be real and prepared for anything, even the fact that i might fail my task but as you said we have no control over the future only over what we do now so that is what im focused on right now,i noticed that the more i expose myself to pain and discomfort that i focus less on all of that and i realised how trivial some problems in life are and what a big deal we make of those small problems, but you really went through hell and i congratulate you for managing to fight your way out of it,i seriously have nothing to complain about once i heard your story. All that i can do now as a thank you to what you said is keep going with my routine,even though i could do so much more... And i should and i will.Im also working on saying calm and focused under any kind of press ure i stumble upon and practicing that means the world to me and idk where i learned that but every time i take a breath in and out i feel calmer and calmer, its like all i ever wanted was to feel calm, but i have been doing it wrong until i realised how to do that.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BROTHER your a big inspiration
Beautifully moving words Tu! My why is to live the best life that I can and be someone I can be proud of and feed the world!
I really wish I could attend some of his classes. I take from this what I can and remember it!! Thank You so much!!!!
