File picture taken in 1975 by MGySgt John Valdez, The Last US Marine In Saigon, of the main street entrance of the US embassy in Saigon US, facing 4 Dai Lo Thong Nhut and leading to the Embassy lobby and MSG Post #1. Behind the Marine standing post can be seen the other set of doors that lead to the courtyard. This particular set of doors were knocked-down on the morning of April 30 when a South Vietnamese drove a fire truck belonging to The Embassy, through the doors and enabled South Vietnamese personnel to enter The Embassy lobby and climb the stairs to the 6th floor.
