My vote for most iconic image of the U.S. Embassy's hasty departure is the one below. Forget all the photos of choppers over the embassy, here's the final act of our evacuation: dropping helmets and body armor just before boarding the flight out.
The equivalent in Saigon '75 was the evacuees dropping their small arms into the embassy pool before getting on the chopper.
