CPOY 73 International Picture Story Silver: The Generational Legacy of War

Phuong (pronounced “Foong”) Nguyen, age 39, is a second generation victim of Agent Orange. Phuong stands under two feet tall, has a severely deformed upper torso and suffers from a wide range of health issues. In spite of these challenges, Phuong has dedicated his life to helping others who have been affected by Agent Orange, working full-time at the Da Nang Association for Victims of Agent Orange (DAVA). Phuong dreams of one day being able to speak to the United States Congress; he wants Americans (and the world) to see what Agent Orange looks like and wishes to ask for aid for affected Vietnamese.
