The American Experience in Vietnam: Reflections on an Era In the final days of the Vietnam War, a Vietnamese refugee family tries to push their scooter onto Highway 1 outside Saigon as they flee the advancing North Vietnamese, days before the fall of Saigon in April 1975. The strain of battle is shown on the face of US Army Sgt. Philip Fink, an advisor to the 52nd Vietnamese Ranger battalion. The unit had borne the brunt of recapturing the jungle outpost of Dong Xoai from the Viet Cong, June 1965. US Marines ride through sand dunes on amphibious vehicles in I Corps, 1966. As part of Operation Hastings, Marines of H (Hotel) Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, take to the water asm they move to join up with other elements of their battalion in Dong Ha.
An abandoned helmet and rifle stand as tribute to the two hundred Americans killed during Operation Prairie. Actress Carroll Baker throws her arms open to the men of aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga as the ship steams through the South China Sea. Baker was a member of the Bob Hope troupe that brought cheer to US servicemen in Vietnam. Military police keep back protesters during a sit-in outside the Pentagon on October 21, 1967. American servicemen, former POWs, cheer as their aircraft takes off from an airfield near Hanoi as part of Operation Homecoming.
