National Vietnam War Veterans Day
Welcome Home!
Since 2012, March 29th has been commemorated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. It was declared as Vietnam Veterans Day by President Barack Obama, but it wasn’t made official until 2017 when Congress signed into law the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act.
March 29 is significant as on that date more than 50 years ago, the last combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam and the last prisoners of war held in North Vietnam arrived home on U.S. soil.
Commemoration
To Those Who Been Told PTSD
Would Go Away In Time.
To Those Who Returned But
Are Still Haunted By
The Nightmares Of War.
To Those Who Suffer From
Agent Orange Exposure And
Are Still Fighting The Last Battle.
To Those Who Have More Friends
On The Vietnam Memorial
Wall Then Alive Today.
THANK YOU!

[My Vietnam Veteran]
Sgt Terry Leon Wilson served in the United States Army and fought for his country in Vietnam while I was in my last years of high school. He was over in Vietnam for three years serving his country. He was/is one of 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam. Remember he and all Vietnam Veterans were not properly welcomed home. No mention of Welcome Home, no fanfare, no parade, no recognition when they arrived back on American soil.
Whenever you meet a Vietnam Veteran or any Veteran, please thank them for their service to this country. Let them know their bravery, sacrifice, and strength hasn’t gone unnoticed and America will always be indebted to them for all they have given to the country.
Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans!
God Bless. Remember and Honor Vietnam Veterans. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with me. I appreciate y’all very much.
