49 years ago: Saigon falls to NVA - the Vietnam war is over

Though skirmishes continued for a few days, by and large the Vietnam war ended 40 years ago today when North Vietnamese tanks occupied Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of the south, known then as the Republic of Viet Nam. The RVN ceased to exist that day.

By the end of the war, estimates are that over 2 million people, including over 50,000 American forces, had been killed during the war.

To absent comrades!
