TweetVietnam Veterans Day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home more than 40 years ago.Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” on March 29 or 30 of each year. Though there is some debate, March 29 is generally viewed as a more appropriate date, as it marks the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam in 1973. It is also the date President Nixon chose for the first Vietnam Veterans Day in 1974.
The chart below contains enacted legislation and resolutions from 41 states and Puerto Rico to designate a Vietnam Veterans Day.

TweetGod bless all that served! So many lost so much, the kids who never knew their dads and the grandkids who will never know their granddads. Some may have returned from Vietnam physically and may not have their names on the wall but emotionally....

that's a shame baby.. my father said the same thing when he came back.. I was born after he went and came back.. I bet in my life my dad hasn't said 20 words about his time in Vietnam..

I know the war was very un-popular but don't take it out the men who served take it up with those calling the shots in the war in DC..
