Commemorating the Vietnam War and Its Service Members
National Vietnam War Veterans Day is March 29 — an excellent time to thank and honor #Vietnam #veterans and their families for their #service and #sacrifice, as well as recognize former prisoners of war and families of those still listed as missing in action. Additional objectives of the nation’s 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War focus on the wartime service of the armed forces and support organizations; paying tribute to wartime contributions at home by American citizens; highlighting technology, scientific and medical advances made during the war; and recognizing the contributions of U.S. allies. #NationalVietnamVeteransDay
