Edgar Buell was an Indiana farmer who provided humanitarian aid and agricultural training to the Hmong people of Laos in the 1960s. He worked for International Voluntary Services under contract with USAID. Buell was drawn into the events of the Secret War, organizing relief for refugees and acting as a liaison between the Hmong and United States officials. Hmong veterans remember him as Tan Pop (Mr. Pop), a legendary figure who labored selflessly on their behalf.
