AETC First Faces Lt. Col. Trinh Peterson

  • Published
She escaped Vietnam in 1975 after the fall of Saigon. She came to America without her parents or knowing English and with just the clothes on her back. Despite all these obstacles, she succeeded. Here is the incredible story of Lt. Col. Trinh Peterson, AETC lead civil law attorney at JBSA-Randolph.

"First Faces" began several years ago with chaplains from throughout AETC nominating Airmen from individual wings. Today, the program has expanded and includes a partnership between the chaplain's and public affairs offices in order to reach a wider audience. Each Airman's story is a powerful way to infuse hope and build resilience. Airpower starts here!
