spent 90 minutes today with the partners family, listening to their first and second hand stories of how they escaped Vietnam starting about a month prior to the fall of Saigon leading to getting on a boat out of Saigon at 3am the morning of surrender, through escaping to the Philippines, Guam, and eventually, the United States.

Deeply, deeply sobering and humbling shit.

Anyone have any nonfiction book recommendations related to Vietnam?
