I think it was very nice of the new VA Governor Bob McDonnell to take the time off his busy schedule to write the Lunar New Year/or Tet Greetings to the Vietnamese Community :)
Too bad that we haven't heard or seen anything from the CA or TX Governors yet :(, even though CA is the most populous Vietnamese in the US, then TX.
Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger to us all!

COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA Office of the Governor

Dear Friends:
As we approach the Lunar New Year/Tet, I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude to the Vietnamese-American community for its positive contributions to Virginia.
The Tet New Year symbolizes the beginning of the Vietnamese lunar year and the first day of spring. It is the biggest and most important holiday for the Vietnamese-American community.
Tet is a celebration of rebirth and renewal. It is about letting go of the past and looking forward to what the future brings. It gives us time to honor ancestors, visit family, look up old friends, and celebrate as a community.
The New Year of the Tiger is upon us. As governor, I am honored to represent the Vietnamese-American community here in Virginia. I hope the Year of the Tiger will bring good health and fortune to everyone.
Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
Robert F. McDonnell
