Lionel Roseblatt, the United States foreign service officer who led a legendary, daring and completely unauthorized mission to rescue refugees from Vietnam, has died at 82. In 1975, Rosenblatt and his State Department colleague Craig Johnstone, wore disguises, forged documents and bribed local officials to ferry refugees out of Vietnam on small planes when it became clear Saigon would fall to the North Vietnamese Army. Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist remembers a life well lived.
