Correct. The US involvement in the Vietnam conflict was concluded by
a peace treaty (for which Henry Kissenger was awarded a Nobel Peace
Prize).

The last combat troops in Vietnam left more than a year before the
country fell.


He's really sucked up the propaganda.


Propaganda?

A peace treaty ( Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in
Vietnam ) was signed 27 January 1973.

27 January 1973 - The last American soldier to die in combat in Vietnam, Lt.
Col. William B. Nolde, is killed.

29 March 1973 - The last American soldier is removed from Vietnam.

Saigon fell on 30 April 1975.
