Every March 29, we honor and recognize the 3 million servicemembers who were deployed and served in the Vietnam War. 🇺🇸 March 29 was chosen to remember the last U.S. combat troops who departed from Vietnam on March 29, 1973. On and around the same day, Hanoi released the last of their acknowledged prisoners of war. The end of the war is recognized to be the Fall of Saigon, which happened April 30, 1975, with civilians and U.S. personnel evacuating. There are more than 58,000 deaths documented and inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. ❤️

To all Vietnam veterans, your service mattered, and it will never be forgotten. We are forever thankful for your courage and the sacrifices you made for our freedom. Today and every day, we honor you.

On March 29th we recognize the men and women who served during the Vietnam War and thank them for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to our country.

Many Vietnam veterans returned home without the welcome they deserved. Today is a chance to show the appreciation and respect that should have always been there.

Sunday at The Bunker we will have food and cake as a small way to say thank you and bring people together.

If you are a Vietnam veteran, or know someone who is, we would be honored to see you. Stop in, share a story, have a bite to eat, and let us thank you for your service.

Please take a moment to recognize and appreciate our Vietnam veterans. 🇺🇸
