My father was captured in Saigon and my mother luckily evacuated with a few members of his family because they were a part of the South Vietnamese military. I have been searching for years for others like me as well as a way to access a more current Birth Certificate to obtain a U.S. Passport. I have my old notarized birth record but it is not accepted by the Passport Agency. Can anybody guide me in the right direction please? My contact info is soulsistah75 at gmaildotcom.

My mother was Vietnamese and father in the military (Daniel Stockton). Also with them was my Aunt and brother. My parents, if I remember correctly, were on the second to last C130 flight out of Saigon. We were very fortunate to have been allowed on the flight as the President had already declared the only people allowed on remaining flights were U.S. personnel. I remember being told many doctors were present for my delivery. I would love to connect with any of those doctors who delivered me or people who may have known my father. He passed away in 1999.

My boyfrined,Craig Mcilrath was Brians roomate, along with Greg Gmerek.Greg Gmerek was also on that planeHe is alive and well and living in Michigan. He has several pictures of Brian.. I worked with the refugees after they arrived at Clark, and also on Wake Island. I knew Brian very well. What a nice fella. So sorry to hear of his passing. I had no idea he was on this magazine. As you have, I have also requested a copy of the magazine. How sad the young woman was not able to thank him. Being stationed at Clark was an incredible experience. Your brother was a very nice, kind person. I remember him so well. Hi Stuart,

My husband(boyfriend at the time) was Brain Harmes roomate in the PI. Additioanlly, I was a medic in the AF during this time. I was part of a 30 person Air Evac hospital sent to Wake Island after Operation Babylift. I delivered a baby given by one of the Vietnamese women on Wake.BEfore the birth she was on the bedpan, and screamed,"baby coming". I ran to get the Dr.It was a successful delivery. I have thought about this baby so many times, and wondered where he is. The women who delivered babies during that time gave their babies the middle name Wake. Because I helped this woman, she wanted to name her baby after my boyfriend.. His name is Craig. Somewhere there is a guy named Craig Wake Nguyen. How could I also get a copy of this magazine. I was sorry to hear of Brains death. He was a good guy. I am blown away by this story. My husband(boyfriend at the time) was Brain Harmes roomate in the PI.

It was a shock to find out that he was on the cover of Vietnam magazine and I just found ouy about it on May 28th,2011. I am trying to find out if I can buy a copy of the October, 2006 issue. It was to bad that more time was not given to what Brian accomplished in the twenty years he spend in the service. Thank you for any help you can give me. Stuart Harms Brian Jon Harms was my brother.
