NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY
March 29, 2024
The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 was signed into law by 45th U.S. President Donald J. Trump, designating every March 29th as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The proclamation origins date back to the 37th President Richard M. Nixon, who officially ended the war on Feb 26, 1974. March 29th was later recognized as an annual event by several U.S. Presidents thereafter in an attempt to honor Vietnam veterans and heal spiritual and emotional wounds from a highly contested war. Years from 2017 to 2025 encompass the 50th Anniversary celebrations - special recognition events for all Vietnam veterans who served at home and abroad. To learn more about upcoming events happening nationally and in your state, go to: vietnamwar50th.com
We are a grateful nation and thank you one and all for your service and sacrifice.
Respectfully, RWP staff
