Sgt (Join to see) - A friend of Mine here in Millis, MA runs a Restaurant with His wife and both came from Vietnam. He was a member of the VNAF, Vietnamese Air Force. They had escaped Vietnam when the Communist took over. His father, a Captain in the Vietnamese National Police wasn't so lucky, He died in what the Communist call a re-education camp. They had three daughters, all graduated from college with Highest honors. He and His wife are now Grandparents. The restaurant named "Saigon" has been in operation for over 45 years and everything is made fresh right there. Its very poplar and He supports all kinds of civic projects in Town.

The US military conducted Operation Baby Lift in the 70s for orphaned babies. Clark AFB Philippines was marshaling area for the babies. One day a C-5 flew from Clark AFB to pick up babies in Vietnam. It picked up many babies. It took off but experienced hydraulic problems and the ramp door blew off. The pilot conducted an emergency landing in a rice field. Not all perished in the crash but many did. Our Clark AFB community was just sad.
