Etched In Time - Vietnam Veterans Remember The Fall of Saigon - "Where were you when Saigon fell?" We posted this question to our readership, and, happily, were deluged with correspondence. We have printed a selection of these first hand accounts of that indelible moment.

20 Years Later: Live From The Rooftop by Peter Arnett - On April 30, 1975, as the last helicopter lifted off the roof of the American Embassy, and as Saigon fell to Communist troops, Correspondent Peter Arnett's personal choice was to stay behind to record this historic moment for Associated Press. Twenty years later, he returns to that rooftop, this time reporting for the VVA Veteran.
