Remembering the fall of Saigon 40 years on

Robert Higgins reflects on the fall of Saigon 40 years ago today to communist North Vietnam. While views are divided, for most in Vietnam, reunification of the country has been a good thing

On April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese forces marched into Saigon, the then-capital of South Vietnam, and raised the Flag of the National Liberation Front, bringing to a close more than 15 years of conflict with the United States.

Some 40 years later, Vietnam remembers the day the war ended.
