March 29th is designated as a day to recognize Vietnam War veterans.
National Vietnam War Veterans Day is a US holiday observed annually on March 29. It recognizes veterans who served in the US military during the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War led to over 58,000 American military deaths and a total of over 2½ million Americans served in the war.
In the early 1960s, military advisors were sent to the country, and by 1963 there were about 16,000 Americans in Vietnam.
After the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964, the conflict expanded, and by 1968 there were 500,000 troops in the country.
After about a decade of war, the last American troops came home on March 29, 1973.
The Vietnam War was a war of great controversy, with many strongly opposed to it, while others supported it. Most veterans did not return home to parades and celebration. Many veterans came home physically wounded, and faced post-traumatic stress syndrome or other health issues.
