On April 30, 1975, the Best of the Best did their best for the Least of the Least.
The Directive: Only evacuate Americans at the US Embassy in Saigon.
The Response: The Hell You Say!
US Marines and Naval forces performed black-ops, under the table rescues, skirting authority, bending rules, strategizing on the fly, emptying their hearts and pockets and Risking All to get the South Vietnamese to safety as the Viet Cong ruthlessly advanced on Saigon.
I declare: You who were spat on as you returned from the war to your native soil. You who were disrespected for serving your country. You who DIED in that very war in order to stop the inhumanity of a Communist regime. I salute you. I remember you, Soldier. I Remember You.
