In Arlington, two brothers, Tom and Kevin Le, have turned their family's past hardships into a tale of triumph with Luraco Technologies, the sole U.S. manufacturer of massage chairs. Their journey, chronicled by the city's news publication, reveals a story of perseverance and gratitude deeply rooted in the American Dream—a term often invoked but realized in varying degrees across the nation.
As young immigrants, the Le brothers, along with their family, were given a fresh start in Arlington after their father’s grueling seven-year imprisonment by the North Vietnamese military. Once settled, they were encouraged to pursue education, leading them to earn degrees from the University of Texas at Arlington. Now at the helm of Luraco Technologies, they hold nearly 50 U.S. invention patents, initially cutting their teeth as a research, development, and engineering company before pivoting to massage chair manufacturing. According to the City of Arlington, the brothers are a testament to the transformative power of American opportunity.
Tom Le, reflecting on his path to success, expressed deep appreciation for the support they received along the journey. "I would like to thank you, American people, giving us an opportunity to change our life," Tom Le told the City of Arlington. The sentiment of gratitude is echoed by his brother, Kevin, acknowledging hard work as a critical component of their success, yet underscoring the immense value of the opportunities they were presented with.
Kevin Le made it clear that the American Dream fueled their ambitions, as they embraced the possibilities laid out before them. "The American Dream gave us everything, that’s how we have right now. We work hard, but it’s the opportunity we really appreciate," he expressed in the City of Arlington.
