The General's Last Moments in Vietnam

The day after Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf was laid to rest brings back memories of his last trip to Vietnam, as a commentator for CBS News. (He earlier served two tours in the Army) I was the CBS Bureau Chief in Bangkok and helped organize the 1993 trip, which included Dan Rather, two camera crews, assorted producers, and a ton of equipment. In Ho Chi Minh City, our delegation was threatened with bloodshed in a series of threatening letters, demanding gold and US Dollars. The story has never been told. But I will, in my upcoming book.  The photo is at Ton Son Nhut Airport in '93, and is the last picture of Gen. Schwarzkoph in Vietnam.
