Vietnam War Veterans Day 2017
March 17, 2017
Currently we commemorate a half century milestone in the Vietnam War experience with the Department of Defense leading the commemoration of the Vietnam War 50th Anniversary. This is a 15 year program paralleling the actual length of the war with partnered activities each year. A national March 29th Vietnam War Veterans Day has been enacted in 2017 by action of the 115th Congress and signed by President Donald J. Trump. It is a day when the nation will remember and deliver in perpetuity, the respect and gratitude of its citizens to those who during the Vietnam War and Era: made the ultimate sacrifice and served as well as their respective families; the citizens who supported the nation’s defenders and their families while in harm’s way and when they came home, our allies who served alongside our troops throughout the world and their families.
