Hmong Memorial Statue — 2005 - Bernhard
Heer
The 6-foot bronze statue depicting two Hmong soldiers
rescuing a wounded American pilot honors thousands of
Hmong
guerrilla fighters enlisted by the CIA during the
Vietnam
War. Many fighters settled in the San Joaquin
Valley after
the war, and today Fresno is home to one
of the largest
Hmong populations outside of Laos.
