The Vietnam War

In January 1973, the Paris Peace Accords officially ended the US involvement in the Vietnam War, although the majority of US troops would not leave until August of that year and the fighting between North and South Vietnam would continue until the fall of Saigon in 1975. This year 3/29/24 is Vietnam Veterans day and we commemorate 50 years since the end of the War. The Vietnam War lasted approximately 20 years from 1955-1975, marking the period of US involvement in the conflict. Because of the Herbicides, (AGENT ORANGE), used to eradicate the vegetation and make it easier to see the enemy created a lot of different diseases among the Vietnamese and Americans. Many of these people are still suffering from long term illnesses. As a gesture of sincere gratitude, please acknowledge these men and women by thanking them for their service. As a result of a lot of different factors that took place during this time period, many Veterans did not receive warm welcomes when they came home. Many Vietnam Veterans that I know do not want the same negative treatment for Wars that occurred after Vietnam, (Desert Storm), (Gulf Wars), (Iraq), (Afghanistan). Anyone that served in the US Armed Forces should be acknowledged and thanked for their service.
