My Lai Massacre Memorial, Vietnam
A visit to the memorial that commemorates approximately 500 mainly women, children and elderly male villagers, slaughtered by US servicemen in the 1968 My Lai Massacre at Son My. The memorial is located 8kms from Quang Ngai on Vietnam's central coast.
The Vietnam War - My Lai Massacre
The Mỹ Lai Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai [tʰɐ̃ːm ʂɐ̌ːt mǐˀ lɐːj], [mǐˀlɐːj] ( listen); /ˌmiːˈlaɪ/, /ˌmiːˈleɪ/, or /ˌmaɪˈlaɪ/) was the Vietnam War mass killing of between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians in South Vietnam on March 16, 1968. It was committed by U.S. Army soldiers from the Company C of the 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade of the 23rd (Americal) Infantry Division. Victims included men, women, children, and infants. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated. Twenty-six soldiers were charged with criminal offenses, but only Lieutenant William Calley Jr., a platoon leader in C Company, was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but served only three and a half years under house arrest.
The massacre, which was later called the most shocking episode of the Vietnam War, took place in two hamlets of Sơn Mỹ village in Quảng Ngãi Province. These hamlets were marked on the U.S. Army topographic maps as My Lai and My Khe. The U.S. military codeword for the alleged Viet Cong stronghold in that area was Pinkville, and the carnage was initially referred to as the Pinkville Massacre. Later, when the U.S. Army started its investigation, the media changed it to the Massacre at Songmy. Currently, the event is referred to as the My Lai Massacre in the United States and called the Sơn Mỹ Massacre in Vietnam.
The incident prompted global outrage when it became public knowledge in November 1969. The My Lai massacre increased to some extent domestic opposition to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War when the scope of killing and cover-up attempts were exposed. Initially, three U.S. servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and rescue the hiding civilians were shunned, and even denounced as traitors by several U.S. Congressmen, including Mendel Rivers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Only after thirty years were they recognized and decorated, one posthumously, by the U.S. Army for shielding non-combatants from harm in a war zone.

My Lai massacre survivor recalls Vietnam War's darkest chapter
My Lai massacre 50 years on: Survivors of the massacre visit the war memorial in Son My village, where 504 villagers were killed by American troops.
The My Lai Massacre Is Retold By Only Survivor
(15 Mar 2018) The shudder of artillery fire woke the boy at 5:30 a.m. Three American soldiers appeared at his family's home a couple of hours later and forced the mother and five children into their bomb shelter, a structure almost every rural home had during the Vietnam War, to keep residents safe.
One soldier set fire to the family's thatched house while the others tossed grenades into the shelter. Protected under the torn bodies of his mother and his four siblings, 10-year-old Pham Thanh Cong was the only survivor.
It was March 16, 1968, 50 years ago. The American soldiers of Charlie Company, sent on what they were told was a mission to confront a crack outfit of their Vietcong enemies, met no resistance, but over three to four hours killed 504 unarmed civilians, mostly women, children and elderly men, in My Lai and a neighboring community. Vietnamese refer to the greater village where the killings occurred as Son My.
We started hearing the screaming and moaning from our neighbors, which were followed by gunfire and grenade explosions, then the screaming and moaning stopped, and my mother knew that the American soldiers had killed people, Cong recalled this week. I was covered with the flesh and hair of my mother and sisters and brother.
Knocked unconscious with injuries to his head and wounds on his torso from grenade fragments, Cong was saved that afternoon when his father came to retrieve the bodies.
The My Lai massacre was the most notorious episode in modern U.S. military history, but not an aberration in America's war in Vietnam.
The U.S. military's own records, filed discreetly away for three decades, described 300 other cases of what could fairly be described as war crimes. My Lai was distinguished by the shocking one-day death toll, the stomach-churning photographs and the gruesome details exposed by a high-level U.S. Army inquiry.
An official policy of free-fire zones — from which civilians were supposed to leave upon being warned — and an unofficial code of kill anything that moves meant Vietnamese were constantly at risk.
Estimates of civilians killed during the U.S. ground war in Vietnam from 1965 to 1973 are generally 1 million to 2 million.
The average U.S. soldier could not be sure who the enemy was, rarely encountering one directly. They were targeted by land mines, booby traps, snipers. They were told to help, but the Vietnamese were rarely welcoming. Quang Ngai province, where My Lai is located, was a hive of communist military activity.

Thousands turn out to mark 50th anniversary of My Lai massacre
(16 Mar 2018) Over a thousand people on Friday attended commemorative events marking the 50th anniversary of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, using the event to talk of peace and cooperation instead of hatred.
On March 16 1968, American soldiers killed 504 unarmed civilians in My Lai and a neighbouring community, known by the Vietnamese as Son My, most of them women, children and the elderly.
Vice governor Dang Ngoc Dung of Quang Ngai province, where the massacre occurred, addressed the ceremony avoiding mentioning the United States by name, a change from previous Vietnam war-related ceremony speeches.
On Friday, several dozen school girls in traditional Ao Dai outfits with dove headgears symbolizing peace, performed dances in tribute of the victims and to promote peace.
Participants including government leaders, villagers, and a group of American Vietnam war veterans laid flowers to pay respect to the victims.
The commemoration comes at a time when bilateral relations between the two former foes have steadily accelerated since their normalisation of relations in 1995.
The United States is now one of Vietnam's top trading partners and investors.
And relations have also expanded to security and defence which saw the first USS aircraft carrier to dock at a port in central Vietnam earlier this month.

VIETNAM: MY LAI MASSACRE: TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Vietnamese/Nat
An American atrocity which was a major turning point in the Vietnam war was commemorated Thursday as the Vietnamese prepare to mark next month's twentieth anniversary of the US defeat.
27 years ago today (Thursday) the My Lai massacre took place, with American troops killing hundreds of Vietnamese civilians.
The massacre is seen as one of the most significant events in turning US public opinion against the war.
On March the 16th, 1968, American troops entered the village of My Lai and took part in a massacre which shocked the world and added fuel to the bitter argument over US involvement in the Vietnam War.
Today (Thursday) small children played on black granite memorial stones as officials laid wreaths and lighted incense to mark the 27th anniversary of the My Lai massacre.
The Vietnamese count 504 dead in the four-hour massacre by US troops.
After Communist North Vietnam defeated the U-S backed South Vietnamese government in 1975, it set up a memorial to My Lai's dead.
Today's ceremony was simple and short.
Fewer than 300 people attended, mostly primary and secondary school children.
Quang Ngai provincial officials placed floral wreaths and sticks of incense in front of a 25-foot (7.5 metre) statue of a woman raising a clenched fist with fallen villagers at her feet.
27 years ago, for the soldiers of Charlie Company, My Lai was bandit country.
Almost all the young men in My Lai and neighboring hamlets had joined the Communist guerrillas.
The Americans were paranoid having constantly lost men to booby traps and ambushes without being able to lash back at an enemy who seemed to hide behind every bamboo thicket.
When the company entered My Lai, a cluster of tiny brick houses on the coastal plain 125 kilometres (80 miles) south of Danang, it turned murderous.
The U-S soldiers threw grenades into houses and bomb shelters, tossed an old man down a well, raped dozens of women and shot everyone they could find.
SOUNDBITE: (Vietnamese)
Three dead bodies were covering my back.. blood and intestines were all over my body...so I told my son don't cry.. if you cry they will come and shoot you, everything is burning now.. they burn the house long time.... long time, they walk back and forth..
My son lost consciousness , I turned him over and he was lying with his eyes closed, I said son son if you live I will take you away.
SUPER CAPTION: Truong Thi Le, Survivor.
65 year old Truong Thi Le said American troops lined her up by a ditch to be executed with more than 100 other villagers.
She was shot in the left leg and fell on her son to save him. Both survived.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
She was injured in this spot. The bullet got in here and got out here.
SUPER CAPTION: Translator
Hatred for the Americans involved continues to simmer in the village.
A U-S Army inquiry concluded that at least 175 and perhaps more than 400 people were killed, mostly women and children.
The Army eventually court-martialled the commander of one of Charlie Company's platoons, Lieutenant . William L. Calley Junior., who was released after three years under house arrest.
Other officers were censured or demoted.
Outside the memorial grounds, which include the statue, memorial stones and a museum, life in My Lai continued much as it had in 1968.
The first rice crop of the year was just harvested, partly accounting for the sparse attendance at the ceremony.

Vietnam to build $15 million park in memory of My Lai massacre
Vietnam's central province of Quang Ngai has announced plans to build a park near the site where hundreds of civilians were killed during a Vietnam War massacre that shocked the world 50 years ago.
The My Lai Peace Park will cost an estimated VND348 billion ($15.3 million), and will be funded by sponsors in Vietnam and from overseas, officials said on Tuesday.
The park will cover 41 hectares (101 acres) near the Son My Relic Site where the mass killing took place on the morning of March 16, 1968.
Construction is expected to take three to five years and the local government has pledged to help with site clearance and relocation.
Dang Ngoc Dung, the province’s vice chairman, said the park will be a place for young people who want to learn about the country’s pains and losses during wartime.
“It will serve as an icon for Quang Ngai and a global destination for peace seekers and anti-war activists,” Dung said.
Truong Ngoc Thuy, chairwoman of the My Lai Peace Foundation which will collect sponsorship for the park, said that it is inspired by similar parks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were hit by American atomic bombs during World War II.
“The park will connect with all peace parks around the world,” Thuy said.
Her foundation also works to support residents in the war-torn province.
The My Lai Massacre, described by historians as “the most shocking episode of the Vietnam War,” was named after a village in Quang Ngai’s Son Tinh District where 504 unnamed people, including women and children, were killed in the space of four hours by U.S. soldiers.
There were 26 American soldiers charged with criminal offenses in the mass murder, but Lieutenant William Calley Jr., a platoon leader, was the only one convicted.
Calley was found guilty of killing 22 villagers and was originally given a life sentence, but served only three and a half years under house arrest after President Richard Nixon commuted his sentence.
He made a public apology while speaking to a small group near a military base in Georgia in 2009.
“There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai,” he said as cited by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. “I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry.”
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the slayings, which had ignited protests and anti-war movements in the U.S. and across the world, Quang Ngai is also making a bronze bell of more than one metric ton and two meters tall which will toll at a ceremony on March 16 this year.
The bell will replace a smaller one at the Son My Relic Site.
Remembering the war, Vietnam and the U.S. however have been making efforts to put their hard feelings aside. A U.S. aircraft carrier docked in Vietnam this week for the first time since the end of the war for a landmark diplomatic visit, signaling the countries’ willingness to strengthen ties.

VIETNAM: MY LAI VILLAGE: 3 DECADES AFTER VIETNAM WAR
English/Nat
The American massacre of civilians at My Lai shocked the world and helped turn US opinion against the Vietnam war.
Now -- nearly three decades later -- one American is working full-time to improve lives in this Vietnamese village, and to create something positive from the memories of what happened there
Today a large memorial statue commemorates those who died when, in March 1968, American troops stormed through My Lai (Pron: Mee Lie) and surrounding hamlets shooting hundreds of unarmed villagers -- many of them children.
Stone tablets mark former house sites and a ditch where many were killed.
A small museum displays the photos that stunned the public when they were published in Life magazine in 1970.
Visitors to this coastal village in central Vietnam may be surprised by the beauty of the place: the tidy village gardens, the lush rice-fields, the shining sweep of a nearby beach, the cheerfulness of the children, and the kindness -- even from those who remember the massacre.
One recent visitor was Mike Boehm (Pron: Bame) -- a US Army veteran who held a non- combat job elsewhere in Vietnam in 1968.
Returning to Vietnam for the first time in 1992, Boehm visited My Lai to honor those who'd been killed.
Moved by the tragic history of the place and the warmth of its people, he returned a short while later to establish a revolving-loan fund for the women of My Lai.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Loans go to poor women -- in most cases, war widows -- and they use the loans to start small businesses such as raising pigs or shrimp or cows, or flowers, even. And they pay that money back and then the money goes out again to other poor women.
SUPER CAPTION: Mike Boehm, Chairman, Vietnamese-American Peace Park
In the three years since its establishment, the program has been such a success -- with loans repaid on schedule and households prospering on their new incomes -- that the Women's Union of My Lai has made Boehm its first honorary male member.
Now Boehm is branching out.
He's helped establish a sister-city relationship between My Lai and his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, and he's encouraged young schoolchildren in both cities to communicate with each other by exchanging drawings of their homes and what's important to them.
But the project Boehm is putting the most effort into right now is the creation of a peace park in My Lai.
It will include a playground for kids, shaded walks beneath fruit trees, and an opportunity for reflection in this place famous for being devastated by war -- on the hopes all parents share for their children's well-being and happiness.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Well, I don't know if the Vietnamese people are unique in this, but I've never heard of it before: that they don't pass their hatred on to the next generation. I mean, think of England and Ireland, and Bosnia, and the Israelis and the Arabs, and..They make an effort not to pass their hatred on. And so these children, these children of My Lai, they don't have any memory of war. They're just happy children. And that gives me hope.
SUPER CAPTION: Mike Boehm, Chairman, Vietnamese-American Peace Park
Boehm and the citizens of My Lai are working to perform a sort of alchemy: the transformation of a place with bitter war memories into a place where the frequently- overlooked joys of peace are consciously appreciated and quietly celebrated.
They hope the park will be ready for a grand opening on the 16th of March next year -- the thirtieth anniversary of the massacre.
People attending are being asked to plant a tree or make some other small gesture, that will allow them to finally come to terms with what happened here.

My Lai REAL
Vietnam province dedicates shrine to victims of My Lai massacre
(15 Mar 2018) Vietnam inaugurated a shrine on Thursday dedicated to the victims of the My Lai massacre of 1968.
On March 16 of that year, American soldiers of the Charlie Company were sent on a mission to confront a battalion of the National Liberation Front, or Vietcong, thought to be hiding in the village.
Despite meeting no resistance, over the space of three to four hours they killed 504 unarmed civilians, mostly women, children and elderly men, in My Lai and a neighbouring community.
The Vietnamese refer to the greater village where the killings occurred as Son My.
Among those killed, 24 families lost all of their members.
After the opening of the shrine, local villagers and a group of several dozen American veterans lit incense and paid respect to the victims.

They were told to help, but the Vietnamese were rarely welcoming. Quang Ngai province, where My Lai is located, was a hive of communist military activity.
Two days before the massacre, a booby trap killed a sergeant, blinded a GI and wounded several others on a Charlie Company patrol.
Soldiers later testified to the US Army investigating commission that the bloodletting began quickly when Lt. William L. Calley Jr. led Charlie Company's first platoon into My Lai that morning.
One elderly man was bayoneted to death; another man was thrown alive into a well and killed with a hand grenade.
Women and children were herded into a drainage ditch and slaughtered, while other women and girls were gang-raped.
Fifty years after the massacre, and almost 43 years after the communist victory reunified Vietnam, most of the rancor is gone, at least publicly, between the nations.
They normalized diplomatic relations in 1995, and the United States is now one of Vietnam's top trading partners and investors.
Cooperation on security and military matters has grown to the point where this month a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier made the first visit to a Vietnamese port since the war.
Cong, the young massacre survivor, went on to study and work in local government, and from 1992 until his retirement last year, he headed the My Lai museum, which sits in part of the area where the massacre occurred.
He said he cannot forget the atrocities but he's willing to forgive the soldiers in order to build better relations between the two countries.

What You Are in the Dark - Hugh Thompson, Jr
Are you Vietnamese? Watch the Vietnamese version here (Bạn có phải là người Việt không? Xin mời nhấn vào link):
Welcome viewers, to a new series I am starting for this channel!
It occurred to me some time ago that many of us know of notorious murderers, criminals and tyrants, and yet there are so many heroes we don't know. I feel like we recognise the names and faces of evil, but we don't spend as much time celebrating or honouring those who fight against evil.
So in addition to my math videos, I decided to make a new series. The series title is in reference to the quote Character is what you are in the dark, attributed to Dwight L. Moody, and every month or so I will recognise a different person who I consider to be a real hero. Someone with genuine moral conviction whose life and sacrifices I feel deserve to be acknowledged. Someone who, when thrust into horrible circumstances, had the option to turn a blind eye to evil, but decided to act with courage, selflessness, integrity, and humanity.
This video marks the anniversary of the My Lai massacre, and in it I choose to recognise the heroic actions of a young helicopter pilot, Hugh Thompson Jr. Thompson and his crew bravely intervened in the atrocities that happened on March 16th, 1968, and were vilified by the press for decades before they were finally awarded the Soldier's Medal in 1998.
I will note one thing not covered in the video: after avoiding the press for decades or demanding tens of thousands of dollars before answering any questions ( William Rusty Calley did finally apologise for his role in the massacre for the first time in 2009. A My Lai survivor called the apology terse.
