Don’t forget to wear ORANGE tomorrow, March 30th.
On March 30, 1973 all U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam. Instead of receiving a welcome fitting for the sacrifice they made for this country, the majority of the returning troops were met with criticism and hostility.
The U.S. Senate passed a resolution on March 7, 2011, declaring March 30 “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” The resolution currently awaits a decision by the House. This day will be recognized across the U.S. as a day of commemoration, a day to pay the proper respect to the veterans who sacrificed so much during the war.
Wearing of the color will also show your support and appreciation for the Vietnam Veterans who did not get it when they came home before.
Thanks, Peeps! I know you would…
Thanks for posting this.
