Episode 59: Surviving War & Revolution (Mom's Story Part 2)

In this powerful continuation of our family history series, we welcome back a very special guest - MOM - for Part 2 of her firsthand account of living through the communist takeover of Vietnam. This episode takes us deeper into her extraordinary journey of survival and resilience, spanning nearly two decades of her life from age 7 to 26.As we gather with our children to hear their grandmother's story, she shares intimate details of what daily life was like during the fall of Saigon and the profound impact of living under constant warfare. Her powerful narrative gives us a raw glimpse into the reality of losing freedoms under communist rule, and ultimately, her difficult decision to flee to the United States as her only path to freedom.This episode serves as more than just a history lesson - it's a vital preservation of our family's legacy and a stark reminder of why we value self-sufficiency and freedom so deeply. Through our children's questions and their grandmother's answers, we bridge generations of wisdom and understanding about the true cost of liberty and the importance of being prepared for uncertain times.Join us for this moving conversation that weaves together themes of family resilience, the value of preparedness, and the precious gift of freedom that we must never take for granted. This is a story that needs to be told, heard, and remembered.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Be sure to check out our Home Buying 101 Webinar on Friday, Feb 28th at 6 pm EST.⁠⁠Register for this Free Webinar Here!⁠Save $25 on Above Phone by using our discount code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOIL25⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Save 15% on Redmond Products by using our discount code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GOODSOIL ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us in person at the 2025 Modern Homesteading Conference in Coeur d’Alene, ID on June 27th and 28th, 2025! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get tickets here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SAVE 10% on General Admission with code: SPRINKLE10Tune in now and join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call to Farms⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
