    I remember seeing the Air America chopper lifting off on T.V. and broke down in tears…. one of the worst days in my life watching America walk away from the good people of South Vietnam after 58,260 young Americans had made the ultimate sacrifice because we were asked by our nation to defend the freedom of South Vietnam….

    God Bless you my Brothers….
