 On the morning of April 29, 1975 at 10:51 A.M. Saigon time, shortly before the fall of South Vietnam to the Communist North Vietnamese Army, U.S. President Gerald Ford issued the order to begin Operation Frequent Wind. During the next 17 hours, U.S. military personnel evacuated 1,373 Americans and 5,595 Vietnamese from Saigon to the safety of U.S. aircraft carriers awaiting offshore. It was the largest helicopter airlift ever attempted.
The day is coming when there will be an even bigger airlift. A day when "the Lord himself shall descend from heaven... and the dead in Christ shall rise... Then we which are alive... shall be caught up... with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air" (1Th 4:16,17a). "Blessed... is he that hath part in (this) first resurrection... they shall be priests of God" (Rev 20:6) and shall "ever be with the Lord" (1Th 4:17b). Therefore rejoice and "look up... for your redemption draweth nigh" (Lk 21:28).
