Summary

• The Lao script on this sign describes the building as "khang sin kha"; in other words, warehouse. While evidence of the American aid program are long gone from Laos, the massive migration of more than a million people from the countries of Indochina to the U.S. is a lasting heritage of America's imperial presence in Laos.
