Victory Day

It's a strange day to be an American as Vietnamese celebrate Victory Day. It was this date, in 1975, that the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to Communist forces and the American troops fled. It's impossible to not feel a little befuddled by the whole war. I know such a limited amount, so I don't understand much beyond the simple ideas which makes it hard to make much contribution to any discussion. Except "I'm sorry so many people died."
