[QUOTE="Peacekeeper1966, post: 197523, member: 4704"] On the 30th April 1975, I was in Saigon, very soon to known as Ho Chi Min City. After crashing through the front gates of Independence Palace and rolling up onto the front lawns, a Viet Cong soldier jumped from the front of tank No. 843 and challenged me. Worrying more for my life rather than over any political bias I said to the soldier who was screaming at me, "Welcome to Saigon, comrade. I've been waiting for you!" The fact that I was an Australian probably saved my life. The Peacekeeper [/QUOTE]
