Past Events:

On Feb 28th, 2013, Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, introduced a resolution to honor veterans who served in Vietnam by designating March 29 “Vietnam Veterans Day.”

March 29th marks the anniversary of the day that combat and combat support units withdrew completely from South Vietnam.  “Despite serving honorably and bravely in Vietnam, our soldiers arrived home to a country in political turmoil and never received the recognition they deserved,” Senator Burr said. “By setting March 29th aside as a day to remember and thank our Vietnam veterans, we can show our unified gratitude for their service and the sacrifices they made on our behalf.”
