Reflecting on April 30, 1975: The Fall of Saigon and Its Legacy
April 30, 1975, marked the end of the Vietnam War as Saigon fell to North Vietnamese forces. For some, it was a moment of liberation; for others, heartbreak and exile. The world watched as helicopters evacuated Americans and South Vietnamese citizens seeking escape.
Now, 50 years later, we reflect on the stories of those who lived through it. Miki Nguyen, son of Lt. Col. Ba Van Nguyen—whose heroic rescue mission was featured in Last Days in Vietnam—is proud to launch his father’s memoir, The Last Flight Out. Miki’s story honors the bravery and resilience of his father and the many who endured this tumultuous time. Miki Nguyen is Someone You Should Know.
