On April 30th, 1975, the last American helicopters took off from what is now known as Ho Chi Minh City. The day meant victory for North Vietnam and bitter defeat for the U.S. On the 30th anniversary, we will remember the war and what it means today, with three New Hampshire Vietnam Veterans. Laura is joined by Al Porsche, Re-Adjustment Counselor at the Manchester Vets Center, Paul Cullen, owner of the Federal Cigar Store in Portsmouth, and Jack O'Neill, chair of the Selectmen in Barnstead.
