Description
This rare NFT, the second in the six-part Fall of Saigon collection, captures a high-stakes meeting between President Gerald Ford and his senior advisors, including National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, Ambassador to South Vietnam Graham Martin, Army Chief of Staff General Frederick Weyand, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Taken in April 1975, as Saigon was on the verge of collapse, this image encapsulates a moment of intense strategic decision-making and the profound responsibility faced by U.S. leadership in the final days of the Vietnam War.
The expressions and postures of each individual reflect the gravity of their deliberations, as they weighed options for the evacuation of American personnel and Vietnamese allies, while grappling with the legacy of a war that had deeply divided the United States. This NFT captures not just a meeting but a moment of moral and logistical urgency as the administration faced the end of America’s longest war at the time.
