HISTORY
U.S. Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., introduced legislation in 2017 to honor Vietnam Veterans with a day on the anniversary of the withdrawal of military units from South Vietnam. President Donal Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Day Act on March 28, 2017, calling for U.S. flags to be flown for those who served on March 29.

Because we now have a president who respects the service even though he did not go.
Gee, VWVD! Who saw that one coming? But in the spirit due everyday; from an RVN 0341 to an 0811, my Thanks To You.
Bravo Zulu - Semper Fi
I thought it lost the title of longest to our being in Afghanistan, another non-war war not yet nearly as large or deadly but they're working on it. Control of the opium trade is at stake just like it was in SE Asia, so . . .
History rhymes again.
Nice of em' to put this holiday on my birthday, though, I can demand a double cake and double ice cream.
Winning.
We should have a VJ day or would that be racist? And we also need a VE day as well. I think I read we had them but liberals took them away. We also need Pearl Harbor day brought back, some calendars have it. We also need Flag Day back as well, June 16. Then WW1 Armistice Day was changed to Veteran’s Day which I have no qualms whatsoever but since we have Memorial Day why not revert back and honor our vets with the days they served under. Just MHO.
Back at ‘ya ... Bravo Zulu - Semper Fi. I did four deuce at Pendleton for 4 months before VN. Ugh.
Wow....well,..*ahum*....to my fellow VN era
Vets. My sincere thanks and admiration for those who remained faithful and true,those who stood together when the early years left
us with very few to lean on, and ears to listen....it took me years to find another handshake that meant something.Enjoy the day
You mean we are no longer assholes?
Of course GW and HW Bush would support something like this
GHWB is fighting for O2 molecules and GWB doesn’t want to offend anyone.
No I’m still an asshole but at least I get recognition for it.
To be honest that would be the A Shau asshole.
