"Kingpin: 27 Minutes To Son Tay" Presentation By John Stanfield - Click For More Info

At 7:30pm in the Post Hall Executive producer Mr. John Stanfield will present his latest movie project, “Kingpin: 27 Minutes at Son Tay” following the Post 32 Executive Committee Meeting. Event is open to all Post 32 Family members. However, Directed Health Measures Levels are in effect…we are limited in occupancy.

On November 21, 1970,U.S. Special Forces soldiers and airmen executed a swift and stunning raid of the Son Tay prison camp with zero American casualties, while three Navy carriers executed the largest night carrier operation of the entire conflict to suppress the enemy air defenses.Not a single prisoner was found. Despite this, the raid stands as one of the most significant operations in modern military history.

Kingpin: 27 Minutes at Son Tay is the true story of the Raiders the way the Raiders want it told; a thoughtful, compelling first-person account of the planning and execution of a never before attempted rescue mission into the heart of enemy territory.
