TROY — After 31 years in the U.S. Air Force, Ray Snedegar remembers every moment of April 4, 1975. As Chief Loadmaster of a C-5 Galaxy, he had a mission per President Ford of evacuating children from orphanages in South Vietnam. The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from the airport in Saigon.

Now, hear and see the rest of the story on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Join Ray Snedegar at the Miami Valley Veterans Museum at 9 a.m. for a first hand account.
