The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 was signed into law by 45th U.S. President Donald J. Trump, designating every March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
Vietnam Veterans National Day is an important day to honor and recognize the brave men and women who served in the Vietnam War. It is a day to remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and to thank those who returned home safely. It is also a day to reflect on the lessons learned from the war, both for our nation and for individuals. On this special day, we should take time to honor all veterans of the Vietnam War, regardless of their nationality or branch of service. We should also recognize all veterans who have served since then, including those currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let us remember that freedom comes at a price, but it is worth every bit of sacrifice made by our brave soldiers.
