#142: The Mayaguez Incident - The Last American Casualties of Vietnam, Part II

Ghosts of Arlington Podcast

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text here

As the first day of the Mayaguez Incident was coming to a close, US officials were gathering Marines from The Philippines and Okinawa for a potential rescue attempt. The Seventh Air Force commander, on the ground in Thailand, tried to include his airmen but that... well, that did not go well.
As the second day of the incident dawned in Southeast Asia, the Air Force did all in its power, with the use of fighters and attack aircraft, to prevent the Cambodians from transferring their prisoners to the mainland where President Ford felt it would be much more difficult to get them back unarmed.
The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.
As always, a very special thanks to the Commando Pando Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!
