Part 3: Draw Down
5/28/2010 | 58m 2sVideo has Closed Captions
From final battles to the release of POWs, veterans recall the end of the Vietnam War.
Though the war began to wane, dangerous missions continued against the North Vietnamese Army. Veterans recall scenes during the last major battles, where many lives were lost in the jungle terrain. Secret missions in Laos helped combat enemy threats against the Hmong population. As the U.S. began to pull back troops, thousands of refugees were evacuated, and POWs were finally released back home.
