For all those who served in the Vietnam War I would like to say thank you.
The reception you received upon returning home from a brutal, hellish war was unjust and frankly an embarrassment to the American people as a whole.
The United States senate has passed a resolution designating March 30th as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. This is an something that has been a long time coming.
On March 30th 1973 all U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam. I was born in June of 1973 and the history of the Vietnam War is as real to me as it must have been to the young adults of that era.
Our soldiers and those that choose to serve and support our military efforts in Vietnam are hero's. All of those young men who never made it home are hero's of the highest caliber.
Again, I wish to thank you all for your service to our country and to apologize for the injustice done to you upon your return home so many years ago.
