It’s taken 44 years, but the brave soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Thanks to U.S. Senators Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Pat Toomey (R-PA), Wednesday, March, 29th will mark the first official National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

On this day in 1973, the U.S. withdrew it’s last remaining troops from South Vietnam. However, those who returned weren’t exactly given a heroes welcome.

So now it ranks up there with 3.14 (pie day) and 9.19 (talk like a pirate day)?

Yes: To some it probably does. But to others it means something. Veterans do not mean anything to a lot of people, and it is getting worse.
Without American Veterans and service people, the world wouldn't be so good for so many.
A damned shame more don't realize that.
