File picture taken on April 30, 1975 by MGySgt John Valdez, The Last US Marine In Saigon, of an aerial view of the Combined Recreational Association (CRA) and parking lot of the US Embassy in Saigon. Down left is an "H" painted on the parking lot for helicopters to land. Normally, South Vietnamese would be grouped into 50-people, which was the number of people a CH-53 is able to carry but it managed to carry as many as 60 people per trip.
