A
My
name
is
jerry
lee.
My
home
name
is
tom
jelly
we
moved
to
minnesota
in
october,
30th
of
1983.
I
was
13
at
the
time
when
we
lost
the
war
back
in
laos,
when
the
red
army
hit
our
town.
We
just
you
know,
escaped
navigating
through
mountain
jungles
across
the
mekong
river
to
thailand.
The
community
here
is
so
diverse,
some
family.
They
don't
like
talking
to
the
police
so
having
somebody
with
the
same
background,
come
to
handle
the
situation.
I
think
that
will
help
a
lot
for
the
community.
