NVA tanks captured the South on 30 April 1975. However, under the Ford administration, US Military forces had to recapture the vessel Mayaquez, which was done at a high cost of US personnel & equipment. Consequently, many people, including the US Veterans Administration may count May 1975 as the official end of the Vietnam War.
