Today marks 45 years since the United States withdrew our final troops from Vietnam and is recognized nationally as #VietnamVeteransDay to honor the veterans and their families who served our great nation during the Vietnam-era.pic.twitter.com/51w9ZPS4Zv
After eleven years of combat, the veterans who made it back home were forever changed: many returned bearing physical scars and others returned with the invisible burden of haunting visions and other effects of post-traumatic stress.
Unfortunately, they also returned to a nation who greeted them with hate and indifference, due to the controversial nature of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Today, we're working to give Vietnam vets and their families the recognition they've earned.
This year, my office became a commemorative partner with @vietnamwar50th, a program to properly thank these heroes. It’s an honor to meet San Diego Vietnam veterans and their families and present commemorative lapel pins as a small token from a grateful nation.pic.twitter.com/qWL0UGK7NE
