March 29 is National Vietnam War Veterans Day
The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 was signed into law by President Trump, designating every March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
52 years ago today, in 1973 the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam.
The US Vietnam War Commemoration honors all veterans who served on active duty in the US Armed Forces at any time from November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, and their families.
This includes many STARRS volunteers and supporters, including STARRS Vice Chairman Maj. General Joe Arbuckle (USA), STARRS Board of Advisors member and Medal of Honor Recipient Major Drew Dix (USA), STARRS & Stripes podcast host Commander Al Palmer (served as a Wild Weasel pilot in the USAF then flew for the Navy) and STARRS Board of Directors member Major Ron Olds, (USAF).
STARRS honors and thanks all veterans who served their country during this time period.
