Anyone watching CBS

[Attilatheblond]

1. Dear friend was watching a documentary about the last air lifts out of Siagon while her pilot son was home visiting.

As the film showed that last US transport plane, overloaded and with desperate people chasing it down runway, her normally solid and good humored son got very emotional. Yeah, he was the pilot of that last behemoth to leave. He never told her until that day, I think it was the 10th anniversary, maybe a later one. He said the nightmares of getting that thing up in the air, overloaded and with so many desperate people trying to chase and hang onto his plane persist... well, it broke him.

My friend held it together as he went back in his mind and told her about the struggle. But it broke her too. So many people, unsaved, still haunted her son.
