CBSN
In April 1975, during the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, there were some 3,000 babies in the country that had been fathered by U.S. servicemen.
"Dad felt very responsibly that he wanted to get those babies out," Steve Ford told CBS News — "dad" in this case being then-President Gerald Ford.
"The word was once the North got into Saigon, that these babies would be possibly slaughtered, killed," Steve Ford said.
