War Sucks - Blog Posts

I apologize for what I am going to say to you, but I have to. I am Ahmed from Gaza, married with two children. We live in the shadow of war and destruction. I lost my brother, my home, and most of my relatives. We have nothing left. I ask you to help, even a little, so that we can survive and protect my children. Any amount, even a small amount, will save our lives.

Again, I don’t know why people always come to me, I’m not that popular of a blog but I’ll try to help, I don’t have much money to give anyone but I’ll try to help spread the word and keep you in my prayers

I am Imtithal from northern Gaza. I live in very difficult conditions because of the war and I struggle to provide basic necessities. I was displaced with my children 17 times in search of a safe place. There is no safe place. We suffer from a shortage of water, food, medicine and milk. Because of the famine war that we have been going through for 10 months, I need your support so that we can survive. Even if the support is simple, it helps my family a lot. Please donate and participate.

Hopefully this will help spread the word, I hope you and your children make it through okay and live good lives despite what your going through. I will pray for you and your family to live long and together

Fifty Years. I wonder if things will ever change.

29 April 1975 – Operation Frequent Wind, the largest helicopter evacuation on record, begins removing the last Americans from Saigon. The North Vietnamese had launched their final offensive in March 1975 and the South Vietnamese forces had fallen back before their rapid advance, losing Quang Tri, Hue, Da Nang, Qui Nhon, Tuy Hoa, Nha Trang, and Xuan Loc in quick succession.

With the North Vietnamese attacking the outskirts of Saigon, U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin ordered the commencement of Operation Frequent Wind, the term used for the final evacuation. The coded message went out over Armed Forces Radio to any US civilians or contractors working in Saigon who had been instructed to listen for : The temperature in Saigon is 105 degrees and rising.” Then the wistful strains of White Christmas played on the radio. This was repeated regularly and was the evacuation warning.

In 19 hours, 81 helicopters carried more than 1,000 Americans and almost 6,000 Vietnamese to aircraft carriers offshore. At 7:53 a.m. on April 30, the last helicopter lifted off the roof of the US embassy and headed out to sea. Later that morning, North Vietnamese tanks crashed through the gates of the Presidential Palace. North Vietnamese Col. Bui Tin accepted the surrender from Gen. Duong Van Minh, who had taken over from Tran Van Huong (who only spent one day in power after President Nguyen Van Thieu fled).

The Vietnam War was over.
