April 30 will mark the 30th anniversary of Saigon falling and the chronological end to a major event historically connected with the baby boomer generation. Identified as Americans born between 1946 and 1964, those who are members among the first half of the boomer years grew up with milestones ranging from the assassination of John F. Kennedy to Neal Armstrong taking one small step onto the moon and Richard Nixon self-destructing under Watergate.
