US Vietnam Vets

Do not forget to pay homage to the brave troops of Vietnam, today marking the 30th year sincethe end of the war:

US Vietnam vets mark anniversary: "US veterans of war in Vietnam have held a commemoration in Washington DC to mark the 30th anniversary of fall of Saigon and the end of the war.

Decked in military regalia, they took part in an official wreath-laying ceremony at the Vietnam War Memorial.

Former soldiers and their families listened to patriotic songs and placed mementos on the rain-swept monument.

They paid tribute to their comrades who died before the North Vietnamese communists entered Saigon in 1975."

VOA News - Memorial Visitors in Washington React to Vietnam War's 30th Anniversary:
"April 30 marks the 30th anniversary of the end of the war in Vietnam. The veterans of that war are graying. Yet the conflict that claimed the lives of over 58,000 American servicemen is still a vivid part of our national story - a story whose meaning and message continues to be controversial today. VOA's Adam Phillips sampled some opinions during a recent visit to the Vietnam Memorial on the National Mall in Washington D.C."

Also remember the Swift Vets who not only fought bravely during these times, but continued the actions for truth and justice right through.
