There's a lesson to be learned from this,folks


On this day in 1975: Saigon surrenders:
"The war in Vietnam ended today as the government in Saigon announced its unconditional surrender to North Vietnamese forces.
The President, Duong Van Minh, who has been in office for just three days, made the announcement in a radio broadcast to the nation early this morning. He asked his forces to lay down their arms and called on the North Vietnamese Army and Vietcong to halt all hostilities.
In a direct appeal to the Communist forces, he said: 'We are here to hand over to you the power in order to avoid bloodshed.' "
