| Fourth Annual SACEI Conference |
CALL FOR PAPERS
SACEI plans to revisit the years of the Second Republic not only from the war aspect, but also from the economic, cultural, and historic points of view. The Second Republic faced its most bloody and violent period in 1968 (Tet Mau Than), 1972 (Summer Eastern Offensive) and 1975 (Total Offensive) when Hanoi launched its blatant invasions into South Vietnam, a far cry from a "people's revolution."
While the South Vietnamese struggled and suffered militarily, economically, and socially, in Washington DC the doves fought against the hawks about the conduct of the war and internationally, Moscow, Peking, and Washington poured armaments into the battlefields.
SACEI (Saigon Arts, Culture, & Education Institute)—a non-profit organization—invites you to share your experiences and knowledge about this period with its audience.
Please submit a one-page abstract to sacei007@yahoo.com. The deadline is June 15, 2012.
Web: www.sacei07.org
Nominations for the 2012 SACEI PERSON OF THE YEAR are also accepted.

Dear unsung heroes,
You came from a far away land,
To help me fight for my freedom and independence,
Alas we both lost,
You, your youthful lives
And I, my beloved country.

You came from all the walks of life,
Farmers, merchants, professionals,
To answer to the call of duty,
To defend our country against aggression.
