He was part of the "Guerilla" fighting forces and later transitioned into field medic for his unit from 1967-1975. From 1975-1978 Cher Yia led his family away from war and migrated into Thailand for refuge.
In 1981 Cher Yia migrated to the U.S. and embarked on a new life with his family in beautiful San Diego, CA. Cher Yia briefly attended adult school and completed various vocational training from 1981-1984. Cher Yia was employed at a bakery in San Diego from 1984-1987.
