Memorial Day is a day to remember all of the brave U.S. souls who gave their lives to protect us. Our nation has seen many wars and for those who have read Last Plane Out of Saigon, you know the message Richard Pena sends about the consequences of war. The loss of human life is a consequence that has unfortunately touched so many lives.
Everyday we remember those who gave such an ultimate sacrifice. However, while we remember our loved ones who served, we do so with a heart that celebrates their memory. Last Plane Out of Saigon puts special focus on the consequences of the Vietnam War, but lives are lost everyday. It is not only the 58,000 lives lost in Vietnam that we honor, but also every life lost, and every life altered by war. We look to the future and hope that we can find a way to help our veterans who return from war.
The Last Plane Out of Saigon team hopes that everyone is safe this holiday and spends time with their families and loved ones.
This past April Richard Pena and the Last Plane Out of Saigon team were asked to be a part of the Vietnam War Summit held at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, TX. Below are some photos from the Summit, which are an illustration of the honor and reverence we strive to show those who gave their lives and fought for our country.
