During 1972, Jane Fonda went all the way to North Vietnam as the guest of the regime that was daily killing Americans. Given royal treatment by her Communist hosts, she taped messages for the enemy’s radio network that called on U.S. forces to cease fighting. Labeling America’s leaders “war criminals,” she indicated they were no different than German and Japanese officials who were tried and executed for their crimes during World War II.
She also outdid herself by donning a North Vietnamese helmet and delightedly posing as a gunner on an anti-aircraft gun similar to the ones regularly targeting U.S. planes. Finally, she visited with captured U.S. soldiers and airmen in the aptly named Hanoi Hilton prison and urged them to provide their captors with statements denouncing America. Hoping to get praise for her the ongoing “peace movement” when she returned to the United States, she got next to none.
During Fonda’s betrayal, one American pilot was dragged from his stinking cell, cleaned, fed, dressed in clean prison garb, and ordered to describe for Fonda the “lenient and humane treatment” he was receiving. He spat at the movie star and received severe clubbing for his defiance. He told of that incident and more when he finally was released and returned to the United States. In summary, she did everything the Communist North Vietnamese asked of her. Over several days, it was quite a performance, part of it so detestable that she earned the name “Hanoi Jane,” something she has never been able to distance herself from.
Every time I hear the name of this infamous traitor, I wonder why she wasn’t jailed for treason, or deported, for what she did in 1972. The Vietnam War was still raging back then. Americans were still bleeding and dying in the struggle our leaders wouldn’t let them win. Top U.S. officials wouldn’t even discuss why victory was denied. They kept U.S. submission to SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) very quiet. But the now-defunct Asian group

Dear Supervisors,
If you are to honor a Jane Fonda for a set day that recurs annually, please set it as her Birthday, which is December 21.
Looking through the board documents, it appears that you have selected 4/30 simply because that was the meeting she would be attending to recieve this recognition. This is truly a dark twist, as April 30 is observed around the world as one of the darkest moments of south Asia. Do not keep this date. Move the celebrations to Jane Fonda's birthday if you wish to celebrate her. Thank you for your consideration.

It’s the saddest DAY in history of South VN and it is a very sensitive day to all to have fled communism in search for freedom. So many of lives have lost due to the circumstances.
Intentional or unintentional…
She can be proclaimed on her birthday or other date; but most definitely NOT 4/30
Greatly appreciated for your consideration of our pains and suffering including all our Veterans

Let the Vietnamese American Community have a day where they can mourn a lost of a country with dignity rather than an ugly reminder of Jane Fonda and what she did with the communist party.
