I had been out of the Navy less than two years when I watched on TV as Saigon fell. It brought tears to my eyes.
I love the Vietnamese people who came here with nothing and worked hard and achieved the American dream. It was that dream and wanting to survive that made them want on those choppers. And that dream gave many the courage to walk through jungles to Thailand to freedom. I know one who owns a great little French Café in Waco, Texas.
Wife and I toured the Midway a few years ago. It takes a full day to see it all.
