#Latest news with #militaryfamilyWashington Post23-05-2025GeneralWashington PostThe Vietnam War was a debacle. 50 years on, its lessons still matter.I have been reflecting on the anniversary of the fall of Saigon after reading The Post's coverage. My memories include how much I missed my father when he deployed there with the Army when I was a second-grader. All four of us children recorded reel-to-reel tapes to send to him, and he would send back recordings of his own; we still have those tapes. This was before the school military support groups that are now embedded in many schools, but I still remember a teacher at my school in Pennsylvania who helped me count down the days until my dad returned.
