Vietnam Veterans Day, March 29th

Once again this year, on March 29th, we remember and honor all our Vietnam Era Veterans.

The first advisors arrived in Vietnam on November 1, 1955 and established the Military Assistance Advisory Group - Vietnam (MAAG-V). Over the next decade the forces grew incrementally and by 1965 expanded with the full deployment of combat units. Many got sent to Vietnam for their high school senior trip!

The last personnel were redeployed from Vietnam and other locations in SEA in 1975.

This year, 2025, marks 70 years since the first personnel were deployed to Vietnam and 50 years since the last units redeployed!

Those who served during the Vietnam War were born between 1918 and 1960. Today, our youngest living Vietnam Veterans are around 65 whereas the majority of the living veterans are in their late 70s to late 90s. It is estimated that approximately 400 Vietnam veterans are dying each day.

If you know a Vietnam Veteran please thank them for their service to the Republic and more importantly say "Welcome Home!"

This war was the turning point for the mainstream media. They turned on America, the military and most everything else that was not a leftist cause. That should have sent up a huge red flag, but here we are.
 
Not only was it a turning point by the media but it was a turning point by our then American Government Aministration who basically forgot the Vietnam Veterans. And that included from the Office of the President, Congress and down to the VA. Only in recent year has the governemnt even recognized the effects of Agent Orange!

Here's some truth.

Ernst, Husker, and all of those who served during the Vietnam War, THANK YOU.

I tried to join the Navy in ‘65 out of high school. I was 17 at the time and my mom wouldn’t sign. Then I flunked draft physicals each of the next three years. Then in 1969, about a month after I got married I passed a draft physical. I decided to join the Air Force. I never was sent overseas though.

Again, a very special thanks and salute to those that served “in country”.

Welcome home.
 
Meany, thank you for your service brother.

As I'm sure you know, this National Holiday remembers and honors "all" Vietnam Era service members no matter where they served worldwide during the war.

Everyone in uniform supported the war effort in some way.

Bless all of our Veteran Brothers and Sisters. A tradition between Vietnam Veterans upon see each other has become a slight head nod and two words "Welcome Home"

Regards
