National Vietnam War Veterans Day

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day, a day to salute more than 8.7 million servicemen and women who served during the Vietnam era, the 3.4 million who served in-theater, and to recognize and remember the 58,000 who paid the ultimate price and the 1,589 who remain missing and unaccounted-for. In a nation where less than one percent of the population wears the uniform and less than seven percent has ever worn the uniform, today, like every day, is a great opportunity to say “Welcome home” and “Thank you for your service.”
