On April 30, 1975, just over eight months after President Nixon resigned the presidency, the capital of South Vietnam was captured by the North Vietnamese Army. The Fall of Saigon led to the reunification of Vietnam under communist control. Thousands of South Vietnamese fled the country as refugees and Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City the following year.
Today the Nixon Foundation commemorated this anniversary by bringing together U.S. and South Vietnamese military veterans to recognize their patriotism, sacrifice, and willingness to serve for the cause of freedom.
