(FoxNews) – The last American combat flag from the Vietnam War is being put
up for auction.
War hero Army Col. Chester Bailey McCoid took the large flag with him when
he became the last ground force soldier to leave the South Vietnam port city
of Da Nang on March 29, 1973, a month before the fall of Saigon.
According to the Washington Examiner, the flag is being sold by the Maryland
auctioneer Alexander Historical Auctions. The live and online auction of the
flag and other historic mementos is slated for this week on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Bill Panagopulos, president of the auction house, called the flag “a historic
relic from a war which still stirs controversy at its very mention.” He expects
the flag to fetch at least $10,000 or as much as $50,000.
Alfonso Gonzales
LOS ANGELES (AP) – It took more than 60 years but a University of Southern
California student has finally received his diploma.
Ninety-six-year-old Alfonso Gonzales received a bachelor of science degree in
zoology on Friday, making him the oldest graduate in USC history.
The World War II veteran thought he’d already graduated when he skipped commencement exercises in 1953 because of work obligations. He was
founding a soil company that he ran for 55 years.
But when relatives recently approached the university about getting a copy of
his diploma, they learned he was one unit short.
Although the school no longer offers a zoology major, it crafted an independent
study course through the gerontology school that included reading, video
assignments, visiting other classes, and writing a thesis about his life.
USC officials call Gonzales a "wonderful inspiration."
