Description:"Although my family had suffered, and I had heard of atrocities of the Vietcong, I never experienced first-hand the pure hatred and inhumanity that governed the communists. We, the Southern Vietnamese, were nothing to them--less than human. We were sand in their eyes. The home that I had once known would never be coming back; there would be no rescue. My family no longer had a safe place in this country. We were a hated people in a foreign land."The final days of American involvement in the Vietnam War were consumed with the urgent effort to evacuate all American personnel. By some measures, the evacuation was considered a success; the Americans escaped further harm and managed to take nearly 140,000 refugees with them. But those left behind--soldiers from the South Vietnamese army, government officials, and their entire families-- were now targets.As a direct result of their work with the American military, Tuan "Chuck" Doan's family becomes one of those targets.
