War Re-enactments

     I've posted several times about re-enactments of The Civil War. But earlier today, there was another war re-enactment of note.
     Today is the 35th Anniversary of the day the U.S. left South Vietnam. And the Vietnamese celebrated by reenacting the tanks crashing through the gates of the Presidential Palace in this date in 1970, gates no longer under the protection of the U.S. military. There wasn't much coverage of the re-enactment it in the US media that I could find.
     Funny how the losing side doesn't re-enact. Oh wait!
