Operation Baby Lift a Paradigm Shift

My father was an African American Marine and my mother was Vietnamese. So I was actually put on the plane and happened to survive because I was so malnourished, so small that I was considered a baby, which I wasn't. I was a little older, but they put me on top of the airplane in an upper deck, having survived because there was the bottom two decks smashed into the patties, rice patties. Overall, there was 176 survivors, 138 killed, 78 which were children on the plane

During the fall of Saigon a group of orphans and small children are extracted from South Vietnam! #survivors #orphan #USA

You are not only a survivor, you are a storyteller. And you are witness, and you are participant. And your retelling is so important. And again, as I said in the other SWA I listened to when you introduced yourself, I'm really grateful that you're here, and I appreciate this report on this event that I didn't know anything about. And now I do. Thank you
