 HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (AP) - Thirty years ago, they left as children aboard a desperate flight from war-torn Vietnam. On Wednesday, they returned as 21 grown men and women, visiting their now-peaceful homeland to commemorate the first of the "Operation Babylift" flights that eventually brought 3,000 Vietnamese children to the United States.
"It's coming home," said Canh Oxelson of Los Angeles, who was just 10 months old when he first left Vietnam.
"Though most of us don't have a lot of memories of Vietnam, for some strange reason it feels very comfortable," he added.
