1973 “It was a war that produced no famous victories, no national heroes and no patriotic songs,” wrote Newsweek of the January 27 ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam. It also produced no winner. Once America withdrew, the war between North and South Vietnam raged on until April 30, 1975, when Saigon fell to the Communists, forcing South Vietnam to surrender and ending close to 20 years of conflict. Over 58,000 U.S. soldiers and more than 3 million Vietnamese, on both sides, perished.
