    Very heartfelt homage to your Father . What an artist and strong person he was. The boat had a big ❤️ floating above it . He truly love you and all your family to take that chance of building a boat to up stand and weather the Sea like he did. May your heart be strong and your continued love continue on in life. Peace

    Thank you for sharing this story. What a Father’s Day gift. I lost my father when I was 18. To understand the sacrifices our parents made escaping Vietnam to give the next generation opportunity is to understand true love.

    This video brought tears to my eyes Ben! Your father was a very brave and resourceful man and I am thankful that your family escaped the nightmare of Viet Nam and got to the USA; makes me realize how fortunate I have been in my life. God bless you and your family Ben.....John C in Victoria

    Wow! Thanks for sharing such a personal subject. My condolences on the loss of your father, but what a beautiful and touching story.
    My father was born and raised in Colombia and my sister was married in his hometown. My siblings and I all recreated the same photo he and my mom took on their honeymoon 35 years earlier. It is truly special to be able to recreate photos similar to family member's.

    I am newly subscribed maybe two weeks ago. From your videos I have watched I can't see a tinge of a tragic past on your face because you look you are too well off and living an excellent lifestyle. The misfortune that your family had experienced has turned into victory. Now you are living a blessed life. Stay thankful to God.

    Wow Ben!!!!! This video was so touching. From the beginning I felt an instant empathy and connection since we have things in common. We also fled a communist regime. My parents also gave up and risk everything for our future. I also like to recreate moments. Well done! Magnificent job. Continue doing what you are doing, I don’t think anyone would be able to give you advise, you are doing great. I know your dad is watching you and smiles every time he sees you. You are honoring your dad the best way possible because you are actually enjoying what you are doing.
    R. I. P. Dad
