The chaos that erupted as thousands of South Vietnamese clammered to evacuate out of a Falling Saigon, 4/29-30/75.

I have few memories of the motherland I was evacuated from as a young girl on 4.29.75.  But dramatic images of U.S. “Operation Frequent Wind” (like the photo posted here) are emblazoned clearly, in Hi-Def-Technicolor, in the cobwebs of my mind.  These images, until only recently, have haunted my adult life.

Thousands of us Vietnamese refugees suffer needlessly from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and refractory Depression. Tune in to a special re-broadcast of Sức Khỏe và Bạn (SKVB) Monday (4/29) at 2:40pm and Wednesday (5/1) at 6:20am on Việt Nam California Radio (VNCR, 106.3FM) to learn more about PTSD: What are the symptoms? How can it be effectively treated? Where can you/your loved ones get help? with special guest and founder of the Southern California mental/behavioral health non-profit, http://www.Viet-CARE.org.

In memoriam of “Black April” & the Fall of Saigon, April 30, 1975.
To Your (mental/spiritual) Health, Friends!
