The U.S. Senate passed a resolution on March 7, 2011, declaring March 30 “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.”
I was still young when the vets came home but I remember it very well. All 7 of my mom's brothers volunteered for one or another of the services (4 air force, 1 marine, 2 army) and later 2 did 20yrs each in the coast guard. All 7 of them were in-country and all 7 of them came home safe.
Several of my uncles have now passed away and didn't live to see a day they should have seen 38 years ago.
For the .org members who served in vietnam or your relatives/friends, Welcome Home and Thank You.
My sentiments extend to our current service members. Thank You, Stay Safe and Godspeed on your journey home.
