It is with great sad news to receive the pass-away of a young Khmer Krom leader, Mr. Son Tuon. Mr. Son Tuon held a master degree in Aerospace and had worked for Boeing Aerospace as a senior engineer, prior to his illness.
Mr. Son Tuon also served in Para army (backed by the US) during his time spent in the refugee camp along Cambodia-Thailand border, to free Cambodia from the Vietnamese' occupation.
Mr. Son Tuon composed many Khmer patriotic songs dedicated to the sufferings of Khmer Krom in the homeland of Kampuchea-Krom (the Delta Mekong), south Vietnam.
The greatest achievement of all was his involvement with the creation the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation(KKF). During his leadership, he had led Khmer Krom to the UN's indigenous peoples forum in 2004. He was instrumental to the successes of the KKF and its future's goals. During his sick time in bed, Mr. Son Tuon was serving as KKF's senior advisor.
Mr. Son Tuon and with today KKF's leaders have paved a roadmap to Kampuchea Krom: our homeland.
We thank Mr. Son Tuon for his service and great cause for Khmer Krom's survival. Mr. Son Tuon will be missed by all.
