What I remember the most from that period was that plane crash that killed all those poor orphans trying to escape from Vietnam.
Yes the C 5 galaxy that went down. I was young but I remember that too. We always paid attention to what was going on in our household. I can’t say the same for my kids but lord I tried.
At the time of the fall of Saigon, I was a college student in L.A. and volunteered for the Red Cross at Camp Pendleton to help the Vietnamese refugees being flown in and housed in tent cities there. I was in a large volunteer meeting at my college when it was announced that the “baby lift” plane had crashed and the children were killed. I remember people starting to cry, especially the women.
