On May 12, 1975, two weeks after the evacuation of Vietnam, President Gerald R. Ford faced another international crisis: an American cargo ship, the SS Mayaguez, was captured by Khmer Rouge forces off the coast of Cambodia near Kom Pong Som. The drama played out over four days in Cambodia, and inside the White House where life and death decisions were made to end the crisis. I was in the room documenting what happened. My son Byron Hume Kennerly recently interviewed me on video about the incident.

President Gerald R. Ford would have been 108 years old today. He's with Ansel Adams in his private office in the West Wing in 1975. Ansel's "Clearing Winter Storm" is over the fireplace, the first time that a photograph has hung as art in the White House. I will always miss President Ford and his wise and calm demeanor, likewise Ansel! @cntrforcreativephoto @anseladams #anseladams @sfbpanda @totallyeffnlost @cvn78_grford

Three Amigos. @utnicky (Nick Ut), Peter Arnett and I at #songlongrestaurant — until recently I thought we were the last three Pulitzer winners from the Vietnam War, but journalist extraordinaire Elizabeth Becker pointed out that Frances FitzGerald was a Pulitzer Prize winner in the General Non-fiction category for her brilliant book "Fire in the Lake" about Vietnam. Our number is now four and she should be included here. Sorry to say Frances missed a great lunch, and we will endeavor to get her into the next photo! The editors [that would be me] regret the error . . .). @pulitzerprizes @cntrforcreativephoto
