HONORING AUGUSTINO TRAN CAU

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026)] [House] [Pages H4087-H4088] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING AUGUSTINO TRAN CAU (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of my very good friend, Augustino Tran Cau, who passed away on June 7 in Anaheim, California, at the age of 80. Mr. Tran was a combat medic during the Vietnam war. Following the fall of [[Page H4088]] South Vietnam in 1975, he was imprisoned in a political reeducation camp in Vietnam, but eventually escaped and later settled in Orange County, California, where he and his family built a new life and made southern California their home for almost 50 years. As a pharmacist, Mr. Tran dedicated his life to serving others through healthcare. He was actively involved with the Vietnamese- American community, advocating for democracy, freedom, and human rights for Vietnam. Augustino's legacy will live through his family. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this time. ____________________
