1972: MY WAR STORY

by Joseph Callahan

1972 was the year Americans were told in the media that President Richard M. Nixon was working hard to get the United States out of the war in Vietnam. From my perspective off the coast of Vietnam during that year, it was obvious that Vietnamization-turning the war over to the forces of South Vietnam--was not going well. The Navy and Air Force were more heavily involved in support of South Vietnamese forces than ever before. American casualties of our air and sea forces increased and it was obvious that South Vietnam could not survive without our support. These are my memories from February 14 to November 6, 1972 as I share what I experienced and how I was changed by those events.
