Pride in Plumsted - A Day to Remember

29 March is designated as Vietnam Veterans Day. This special day joins six other military-centric annual observances codified in title 4 of the United States Code S6, among them Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day. 29 March is a fitting choice for a day honoring Vietnam veterans. It was chosen to be observed in perpetuity, as March 29, 1973 was the day United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam. In addition, on and around this same day Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that today there are more than 7 million U.S. Vietnam veterans living in America and abroad, along with 10 million families of those who served during this timeframe. This national commemoration was authorized by Congress, established under the Secretary of Defense, and launched by the President to thank and honor our Nation's Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifices.
