Videos Through the Years
Inspired by his Father – Ba Van Nguyen
Miki’s journey as a storyteller and speaker is rooted in the extraordinary life of his late father, Lt. Col. Ba Van Nguyen, whose memoir “The Last Flight Out” (2025) immortalizes their family’s escape from Saigon and the resilience that followed. This powerful memoir—written by Ba Van Nguyen—serves as the heartbeat of Miki’s talks, blending wartime heroics with universal lessons in leadership, sacrifice, and teamwork.
Through his father’s words, Miki honors not just a family legacy, but the unsung courage of refugees, veterans, and everyday heroes who shape history. More information on the memoir can be found here: https://nguyenvanba.com
