On April 30, 1975 at 8:35 a.m. the last ten Marines were evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. The United States was no longer involved in the Vietnamese War.

An estimated total of 2,122,244 people were killed during the war in Vietnam. Of these, 58,169 were Americans. Of those Americans, 11,465 were teenagers. An estimated 304,000 Americans were wounded. 153,329 Americans were categorized as ‘seriously’ wounded. That total includes 10,000 amputees. 6,727,084 tons of bombs were dropped. This is about two-and-a-half times the total tonnage dropped on Germany during World War II. 3,750 fixed wing aircraft and 4,865 helicopters were lost. The dollar cost of the United States involvement in the war in Vietnam is estimated at $140 billion.

The last two US soldiers to die in Vietnam were killed when their helicopter crashed during the evacuation, some 30 years after Lt. Col A. Peter Dewey had become the first casualty.
