RTE One's Drivetime on Friday mentioned the end of the Vietnam War. Did the programme not say it was 40 years since it ended? Hostilities in Vietnam ended in 1975.
In 1975 the author of this blog kept the chronicle of the Dominican community in San Clemente, Rome.
On the day of the announcement of the end of the war, he wrote in the chronicle how Vietnam had been liberated and freed of a foreign aggressor.
In the following days he took part in street demonstrations celebrating the end of hostilities.
