What is National Vietnam War Veterans Day?
On March 29, Vietnam War Veterans Day honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the country's longest war.
South Vietnam's combat and combat support units were deployed on March 29, 1973, on March 29, 1973. Veterans of this time period are being treated with reverence that was not so generously extended upon their return. It left an indelible mark on the American psyche by involving five presidents in the United States, spanning nearly two decades and 500,000 US military troops.
Returning veterans did not always receive courteous greetings upon their arrival on American soil. Over 58,000 people were killed, with no one to recover. The observance honors these men and women who answered the call to serve their country when she needed them. The observance honors their military service. They didn't make the decision to go to war because they didn't make the decision to go to war.
We commemorate the service and sacrifice provided by all servicemen and women of this period during National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
