Operation Babylift: 50 years later

Posted on May 14, 2025, by Loretto Community

In recognition of the fifty-year anniversary of Operation Babylift, multiple news stories are being produced commemorating the event and noting the role that Loretto Community members played in the operation.

“The Vietnam War: Flight to a New Future,” with reporting by Jeremy Hubbard, news anchor of Channel 13, Denver, can be accessed here. Hubbard’s crew did filming in Vietnam and at the Regis University presentations and library exhibit, and he interviewed several adoptees. 

“Operation Babylift: The 50-Year Journey – A Special Edition of 20/20” can be viewed here. Sister Mary Nelle Gage SL, who was in Vietnam helping to airlift orphans, was interviewed for the show.
