Welcome Home: Viet Nam Veterans' Day

Today is their day.  Please take time to Welcome them Home.

On this day in Nineteen SEVENTY-THREE, the last US troops departed Viet Nam. (Saigon fell in 1975, two years later.  The famous pictures are of the Embassy Marines evacuating as many as they could save.)

After 3 tries, a bill (HR 189) sponsored by Rep Linda Sanchez(D-CA), first sponsored on 25 June 2007, passed, establishing this day as Vietnam Veterans Day. Please say "Welcome Home" to any Viet Nam Veteran you may know on this day.

Please extend a thank you to Rep Sanchez and to former combat medic Jose Ramos of Whittier, CA who made this happen.

Of all Our Veterans, my Viet Nam Brothers, were treated the worst and even today misperceptions pervade about their service.  They served with Honor, Valor, and in Victory.  Unlike most Veterans, they received no parades, only disdain.  And today, their sacrifice is noted by the one thing they needed and didn't get, please tell each and every Viet Nam Veteran you know: "Welcome Home" today, if not whenever you meet one.

This post will stay at the top until COB.

    • Ace Of Spades: Why Language Matters
      In this article, Ace of Spades demonstrates how the writing style of "journalists" and other writers is purposely used to influence the electorate. He explains this far better than I have been able to do, but this is the foundation of why I could no longer be silent.
