Memories have flooded back as I have stumbled upon this website tonight. My parents adopted a son from Saigon named Con in 1974 and were awaiting his best friend, Cuong's, arrival in April of 75 when we got word that his plane had crashed and he had not survived. He was 5 years old and was blind. The story told after the crash by a survivor is that Cuong had commented 5 minutes before the plane crashed that he was so happy to finally have a home of his own. If anyone remembers Cuong, please contact me. I would so appreciate it. Oh, and please add Fitch as his last name on the memorial page. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this site. It is an incredible blessing to each person still missing loved ones and to those amazing survivors like Con who came to this country and learned to cope in an entirely different part of the world. God bless each one of you and those who helped to get you here.
