My home was in Saigon till it fell, though at the time of the fall I was at school in Manila. I was set to go back to Saigon but received a letter from my father with some plane tickets back to the states stating it was too
I ran all over Saigon and on Than Sa Nhut airbase on a 50cc Honda from my 7 grade to my junior year high school. Fun times.
At the end there were few soldiers, with empty barracks all over the place. MACV compound was all but abandoned.

I saw him getting a plane with other evacuees on TV.
