Vietnamese Youths Brave Exodus From An Loc
More than a month after a mass exodus, 53 wounded and bedraggled youths aged 7 to 15 remain from the An Loc elementary school as other children wander along Highway 13 toward Thu Duc and Saigon. They endured shellfire, bombs, and crossfire after their teachers fled, with some taken by North Vietnamese forces or disappearing into refugee camps. A 12 year old polio survivor described the peril and the journey past war zones to safety.
