Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, signed into law in 2017, designates March 29 of each year as a day of commemoration to pay tribute to the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families. With this Act, the service and sacrifice of the more than 3 million Americans is honored and recognized in the official Congressional Record.

The first tangible recognition came in 1980 when Congressional legislation authorized the building of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to honor all those who served in the war. Dedicated on November 13, 1982, the groundbreaking memorial featuring two black stone walls was built to help heal the nation by paying tribute to the sacrifices of those who served and those that died. More than 58,000 names of servicemembers who died or identified as missing in action are listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The memorial and the Act also honor the more than 300,000 physically wounded and hundreds of thousands who suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder, and afflictions caused by Agent Orange, leeches, and parasites.

Our Nation stands stronger for their service, and on Vietnam Veterans Day, we honor their proud legacy with our deepest gratitude.
