The ‘Fall of Saigon’ on April 30, 1975, marked the end of the Vietnam War and one of the most crushing defeats in U.S. military history. 

Local psychologist Dr. Carolee Tran was a child at the time and, together with her family, was able to escape Vietnam. Tran sees parallels in life then and now, and wrote about her experience in a new memoir “The Gifts of Adversity: Reflections of a Psychologist, Refugee, and Survivor of Sexual Abuse.”

We talk with Tran about it today on the 45th anniversary of the ‘Fall of Saigon.’
