03/29/2026

March 29 is designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This is a time to pay special tribute to the 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War era, to the 58,000 names memorialized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and to those who never received the recognition they deserved when they returned to America from war.

March 29, 1973, is the day U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished, and the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam. In addition, on and around this same day, the U.S. Vietnam War Commemoration stated that Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war

Yesterday, January 27, 2026 was the 53rd anniversary of the Vietnam Peace accord. Today, January 28, 2026 is the 53rd anniversary of the supposed end of the Vietnam War. All US troops are out of Vietnam but the war between North and South Vietnam continued until 1975 with US troops acting as advisors.
