Tens of thousands of Hmong refugees are gathering this week in Fresno for the start of a six-day funeral. They're honoring General Vang Pao, who led guerrilla fighters in the CIA's secret campaign in Laos. They hope the elaborate memorial for their leader may finally bring them recognition for their role in the Vietnam War.
