Tavang Sing, the son of a CIA mercenary and a woman who lived in
the Hmong village of Ban Xon in Laos, was born after his father was
captured by the Pathet Lao in that country's civil war in the
1960's. After his birth his mother took him to Chicago, where as a
teenager he became involved with a street gang. But, with the help
of a stranger, who turns out to be his long lost father, Tavang
left the gang. He then graduated from high school and Northwestern
University, and joined the Peace Corps in Laos. Upon his return, he
graduated from the University of Chicago School of Law. He then
became a lawyer, and eventually a politician.
After the September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda attack on the World Trade
Center in New York City, Tavang joined the military to exact
revenge on Osama bin Laden, one of the masterminds of 9/11.
