Description
Saigon Dreams | by J. David Abbott
A former Marine Security Guard relives the 1975 American Embassy evacuation in nightly dreams, haunted by desperate crowds and the baby he could not rescue. J. David Abbott sets domestic safety beside enduring moral injury as the veteran repeatedly returns to the wall, the helicopters, and innocence left behind. In “Saigon Dreams,” a participant in the harrowing evacuation of the American Embassy recalls the haunting dreams and images of those final hours.
DaNang Evac | by J. David Abbott
With DaNang collapsing, Marines destroy documents, improvise a river escape, and load refugees onto a barge while thousands plead from the dock. J. David Abbott records the evacuation hour by hour, confronting panic, impossible choices, death at the water’s edge, and the burden carried by those who survived. “DaNang Evac” is the story of the panicked, confused American exit, described through the eyes of a Marine security guard.
