News to JFK.News to Eisenhower. He sent the first 'advisor' to Vietnam in response to the 'dangerous and threatening situation in Southeast Asia'. (quotes form Wall Street Journal, Nov. 1957)

You're right, LBJ was the third president to send US personnel to Vietnam. I think JFK was the first to send troops.

You are correct. My dad was in Viet Nam and Laos in the mid 1950's.
