President-Elect Donald J. Trump December 26, 2016 Vice President-Elect Michael R. Pence House Speaker Paul D. Ryan Senate Majority Leader A. Mitchell McConnell Senator Richard M. Burr - North Carolina Dear President Elect Trump, Vice President Elect Pence and members of Congress:

Congratulations on being chosen to lead and return our nation to our Founders’ and God’s intended purpose and we wish you utmost success, best of health and serenity in accomplishing that mission.

You are invited to a once in a lifetime opportunity and a significant step in affirming your commitment to honor and support Veterans. As a unifying gesture for our country and its citizens at the start of this promising presidency with a Congress majority also from the Republican Party, please deliver as your first enacted legislation the establishment of March 29th as the permanent national Vietnam Veterans Day. Proposed wording included.

Please note that the proposed legislation wording by this council coincides with the wording used in the mission by Department of Defense in the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. You will deliver on behalf of the nation and your fellow citizens this overdue expression of gratitude and respect to those who earned it through great personal and family sacrifice while serving our country during the Vietnam War and its Era. Upon their return home, those who served and their families endured more suffering.

This act of good conscience was introduced across the country in many states by those on this Coalition of States Council and others. National legislation has been championed by Senator Burr in previous sessions of Congress but was stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Finalizing this permanent recognition will be a legacy of care, preserving for current and future generations the values embraced and cherished by our fellow citizens of respect for our nation’s defenders, plus loving and dedicated support for them and their families.

We will leave a clear message of gratitude and respect to the “Greatest citizens of each of our nation’s generations: those who died defending our country, those who served, those who stand vigilant now and will in the future, their respective families, and the loving citizens who supported them and their loved ones while the defenders were in harm’s way and embraced them and their families when they came home and made it their lifetime duty to help them all heal”.

Let this be a reminder and a promise that “Never again will a generation of citizens and veterans abandon those who served or are serving their country nor their respective families”.

To eliminate any delays/concerns, included is this effort’s history and material substantiating March 29th and why it should not be March 30th as the date, as well as to why not to use Welcome Home in the name. God bless America and the World, because only then will the USA will not need be the arbiter for good nor our nation’s defenders’ blood be shed or lives extinguished, and their families eternal heartaches prevented. Respectfully, _____________________, Council Secretary R. Ray Saikus, Ohio Delegate Direct Tel. (216) 514-7001 Direct E-mail: [email protected]

March 29th Vietnam Veterans Day "FOREVER" needs to be again introduced in Congress

HELP US GET CONGRESS TO FINALLY DELIVER OVERDUE HONOR AND THANKS

Become a voice for "Those who no longer have a voice or a choice": the 58,282 who lost their lives during

the Vietnam War, all of our Veterans who died since then as a consequence of it, and the ones who came back

with the physical and emotional wounds, and their respective families. Proposed legislation on next pages.

WHY NO to March 30th as date

(a) March 30th is tainted because the blood of our nation's defenders was spilled by the North Vietnamese when

the Eastertide invasion (Easter Offensive) started on March 30, 1972 and lasted through October 22 of 1972, a

complete affront to our goodwill at the peace negotiations.

(b) The Easter Offensive, and also (Chiến dịch Xuân hè 1972 in Vietnamese) was a military campaign

conducted by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) against the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN, the

regular army of South Vietnam) and the United States military.

(c) The offensive was given a title steeped in Vietnamese history. In 1773 the three Tây Sơn brothers (so-called

because of the place of their origin) united a Vietnam divided by civil war and social unrest. The youngest

brother, Nguyễn Huệ, then defeated an invading Chinese army on the outskirts of Hanoi in 1788. This was an

obvious 200th anniversary goal to unite Vietnam under Communist rule regardless of the Peace Treaty

negotiations.

(d) Also on March 30 of 1975, the North Vietnamese again violated the peace accords and disregarded our

goodwill and deprived the South Vietnamese people of their right of self determination agreed to by the North.

It created despair and brought the death of more of our people while trying to protect and help evacuate the

people of the illegally occupied South Vietnam.

WHY NO to "WELCOME HOME" in name

Using "Welcome Home" comes across like a "LAST MAN STANDING" tribute and lacks clarity as to whom

gratitude and respect should be delivered especially those who gave their lives for our country. This day is a

perpetual message on behalf of "THOSE WHO NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE OR A CHOICE" that no other

generation of our nation’s defenders will endure the same pain.

Our newest generation of veterans, as well as current and future nation’s defenders will find comfort to know

that their sacrifice and service and that of their families will also not be forgotten, many being

children/grandchildren of Vietnam War and Era Veterans.

* PROPOSED LEGISLATION *

On behalf of the citizens of our great nation, the United States of America, and on behalf of the 111th

Congress

and the President of United States, this legislation is enacted to be an expression of eternal gratitude and respect

to those who served during the Vietnam War Era and to be commemorated as Vietnam Veterans Day on the

29th

of March of each year in perpetuity.

This Official Day of Recognition will serve as a vivid reminder that:

On March 29, 1973, the last 2,500 troops were withdrawn from South Vietnam thus ending military

involvement in what is now the longest war in our country’s history, and

On March 29, 1973, the last of the Vietnam War POWs (Prisoners of War) held in North Vietnam

arrived home on United States of America soil, and

March 29, 1974 was declared Vietnam Veterans Day by Presidential order and the support of Congress

with Public Law 93-232, and

March 29, 2012 was declared Vietnam Veterans Day by Presidential Proclamation with the support of

Congress on the eve of the 50th

Anniversary Commemoration of the beginning of the Vietnam War, and

58,195 honorable and brave souls who fought and died during the Vietnam War, ones who are missing,

and those who died since from the consequences of that war, deserve the eternal gratitude and respect of this

nation, and

The men and women who served with dedication, honor, and pride during the Vietnam War, both in

country and in support of those in harm’s way as well as those protecting our freedoms at home and throughout

other parts of the world at that time, deserve the eternal gratitude and respect of this nation, and

The families, whose loved ones gave their lives for our country during the Vietnam War or died later as

a consequence of it, deserve the eternal gratitude and respect of this nation, and

* PROPOSED LEGISLATION *

(Continued)

The families of those men and women who came home with the physical and emotional wounds of the

Vietnam War and committed to a lifetime of care and support for their loved one, deserve the eternal gratitude

and respect of this nation, and

The fellow citizens who stood by and supported, the families of the fallen as well as the Vietnam

veterans who returned and their families without reservation and with loving care and respect, deserve the

eternal gratitude and respect of this nation, and

The professionals and volunteers who committed themselves to the loving care and healing of the bodily

and emotionally wounded from the Vietnam War at home, and have already the utmost gratitude of those they

cared for and of their families, deserve the eternal gratitude and respect of this nation, and

The men and women of our Allies who served with dedication, honor, and pride alongside our Nation’s

defenders during the Vietnam War, both in country and in support of those in harm’s way as well as those

protecting our freedoms and throughout other parts of the world at that time, deserve the eternal gratitude and

respect of this nation, and

This expression of gratitude and respect to the Vietnam Veterans and their families will also give hope

and assurance, to current and future generations of our Nation’s Defenders and their respective families, that

their sacrifice and service will not be forgotten and deserving of a distinct recognition of the eternal gratitude

and respect of this nation, and

And this expression of gratitude and respect for the honorable sacrifice and service by the Vietnam

Veterans and past as well as current and future generations of our nation’s defenders and their respective

families, needs to remain in the hearts and thoughts of our fellow citizens forever, passed on from generation to

generation.

VIETNAM VETERANS DAY3/30/2016

Vietnam Veterans Day commemorates thesacrifices of Vietnam veterans and theirfamilies and is part of a national effort torecognize the men and women who weredenied a proper welcome upon returning

home more than 40 years ago.

Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam VeteransDay” on March 29 or 30 of each year. Though there is somedebate, March 29 is generally viewed as a more appropriatedate. On that day in 1973, the last combat troops werewithdrawn from Vietnam and the last prisoners of war held inNorth Vietnam arrived on American soil. It is also the datePresident Nixon chose for the first Vietnam Veterans Day in1974.

Hundreds of events were held across the U.S. on Tuesday to commemorate Vietnam Veterans

Day, an unofficial observance that marks the final withdrawal of combat units and support

personnel from South Vietnam in 1973.

Part of an ongoing effort to honor U.S. troops who

served during the Vietnam War era, the events — from

a wreath laying by Defense Secretary Ash Carter and

Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald at the

Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., to

photo exhibits and memorials at VA centers and

cemeteries — are meant to recognize those “who have

‘borne the battle,’” McDonald said.

“When Vietnam veterans came home 50 years ago they didn¹t get the kind of welcome that

veterans get today," McDonald said. "What Ash and I tried to do today was to welcome home all

those veterans and make sure that they felt the thanks and appreciation that veterans today

feel."

The Defense Department is overseeing a 13-year commemoration to recognize those who served

on active duty from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, many of whom returned home from the

unpopular war without fanfare or appreciation.

Since 2011, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., has tried to designate March 29 officially as Vietnam

Veterans Day, but his proposed legislation has failed to gain steam in Congress.

In 2012, President Obama issued a proclamation formally observing the day in response to a

request from Burr and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

“Our veterans answered our country's call and served with honor. … Yet, in one of the war's most

profound tragedies, many of these men and women came home to be shunned or neglected

— to face treatment unbefitting their courage and a welcome unworthy of their example. We

must never let this happen again,” Obama wrote in 2012.

The Vietnam War Commemoration will run through Veterans Day 2025, and more than 5,300

activities have been planned to date. A full listing of events, as well as an interactive historical

timeline of the Vietnam War, fact sheets, map and more, can be found at the DoD Vietnam War

Commemmoration website.

According to the VA, more than 329 medical centers, regional benefit offices and national

cemeteries planned to participate in events Tuesday.

"Our nation is currently commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, a long

overdue opportunity to honor the 7.2 million living Vietnam veterans and the 9 million families of

those of us who served. … Thank a Vietnam veteran and welcome them home,” McDonald said.

Whereas the Vietnam War was an extremely divisive issue

among the people of the United States and a conflict that

caused a generation of veterans to wait too long for the

United States public to acknowledge and honor the ef-

forts and services of such veterans;

Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces who

Office of the Press Secretary

Presidential Proclamation -- Vietnam Veterans Day

VIETNAM VETERANS DAY

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

On January 12, 1962, United States Army pilots lifted more than 1,000 South Vietnamese service members over jungle and underbrush to capture a National Liberation Front stronghold near Saigon. Operation Chopper marked America's first combat mission against the Viet Cong, and the beginning of one of our longest and most challenging wars. Through more than a decade of conflict that tested the fabric of our Nation, the service of our men and women in uniform stood true. Fifty years after that fateful mission, we honor the more than 3 million Americans who served, we pay tribute to those we have laid to rest, and we reaffirm our dedication to showing a generation of veterans the respect and support of a grateful Nation.

The Vietnam War is a story of service members of different backgrounds, colors, and creeds who came together to complete a daunting mission. It is a story of Americans from every corner of our Nation who left the warmth of family to serve the country they loved. It is a story of patriots who braved the line of fire, who cast themselves into harm's way to save a friend, who fought hour after hour, day after day to preserve the liberties we hold dear. From Ia Drang to Hue, they won every major battle of the war and upheld the highest traditions of our Armed Forces.

Eleven years of combat left their imprint on a generation. Thousands returned home bearing shrapnel and scars; still more were burdened by the invisible wounds of post-traumatic stress, of Agent Orange, of memories that would never fade. More than 58,000 laid down their lives in service to our Nation. Now and forever, their names areetched into two faces of black granite, a lasting memorial to those who bore conflict's greatest cost.

Our veterans answered our country's call and served with honor, and on March 29, 1973, the last of our troops leftVietnam. Yet, in one of the war's most profound tragedies, many of these men and women came home to be shunned or neglected -- to face treatment unbefitting their courage and a welcome unworthy of their example. We must never let this happen again. Today, we reaffirm one of our most fundamental obligations: to show all who have worn the uniform of the United States the respect and dignity they deserve, and to honor their sacrifice by serving them as well as they served us. Half a century after those helicopters swept off the ground and into the annals of history, we pay tribute to the fallen, the missing, the wounded, the millions who served, and the millions more who awaited their return. Our Nation stands stronger for their service, and on Vietnam Veterans Day, we honor their proud legacy with our deepest gratitude.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 29, 2012, as Vietnam Veterans Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the Vietnam War.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord twothousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.

Ranking Member Press Release

Boxer, Burr, Sanchez, Bilirakis Join Senate And House Colleagues In Proposing National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day

National Day of Recognition Would Honor Brave Service of Vietnam Veterans

Washington, D.C. –U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Richard Burr (R-NC), co-chairs of the Senate Military Family Caucus, along with Representatives Linda Sanchez (D-CA) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, today joined with Senate and House colleagues of both parties to send a letter to President Obama requesting that he designate March 29 as “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” This proclamation would honor Vietnam veterans each year on the date the last American combat forces withdrew from Vietnam, according to the terms of the Treaty of Paris.

Senator Boxer said, “Each and every American service member who sacrifices for our country deserves to be welcomed home by a grateful nation. Establishing a national day of recognition for veterans of the Vietnam War will honor their service and show the deep gratitude our nation feels for these brave men and women.”

Senator Burr said, “American servicemembers in Vietnam fought valiantly to protect a democratic way of life for all of those who seek it. While we cannot ever entirely right the wrong done to these men and women when they returned home to a country in turmoil, we must make every effort to demonstrate our support and gratitude towards those who sacrificed so much on our behalf.”

Congresswoman Sanchez said, “We owe it to the brave men and women who honorably served our country to honor them for their sacrifice. Unfortunately, many Vietnam veterans came home to harsh ridicule and criticism, instead of the warm embrace and the proper homecoming they deserved. As someone who has introduced ‘Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day’ legislation each Congress since I came to Washington, I hope that President Obama fixes this injustice and gives these veterans long overdue recognition by establishing an annual ‘National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.’”

Congressman Bilirakis said, “These courageous Americans have defined the meaning of patriotism and heroism. They embody the American spirit that has forged a better future for our nation’s children and grandchildren. We must never forget the dedication and sacrifice these men and women gave in order to preserve the freedom that we enjoy.”

In their letter, the Senators and Representatives point out that due to contentious public debate on U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, returning veterans were denied appropriate recognition for their service. They wrote, “A Presidential proclamation would officially designate a ‘National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day’ and ensure that all Americans remember and honor the service of these brave men and women.”

In recent years, both the Senate and House of Representatives have unanimously passed resolutions expressing support for the designation of a “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” A Presidential proclamation declaring this a national day of observance would formalize this fitting tribute to these brave and honorable men and women.

In addition to Boxer, Burr, Sanchez and Bilirakis, the letter is signed by Senators Max Baucus (D-MT), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Kent Conrad (D-ND), James M. Inhofe (R-OK), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Bernard Sanders (I-VT), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Mark Udall (D-CO), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Mark Begich (D-AK), Scott P. Brown (R-MA), Joe Manchin III (D-WV), John Boozman (R-AR) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Representatives Michael Grimm (R-NY), Betty Sutton (D-OH), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), John Larson (D-CT), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Mark Critz (D-PA), Leonard Boswell (D-IA), Robert Brady (D-PA), Gwen Moore (D-WI), Tim Bishop (D-NY), Shelley Berkley (D-NV), Jay Inslee (D-WA), Bob Filner (D-CA), Nita Lowey (D-NY), Joe Courtney (D-CT), Allyson Schwartz (D-PA), Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Joe Crowley (D-NY), John Yarmuth (D-KY), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), Stephen Lynch (D-MA), Chaka Fattah (D-PA), Jim Costa (D-CA), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Charlie Gonzalez (D-TX), Brian Higgins (D-NY), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Bill Owens (D-NY), Mike Thompson (D-CA), Mike Quigley (D-IL), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Peter Welch (D-VT), Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Mike Michaud (D-ME).

The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

As Memorial Day approaches, we respectfully request that you designate March 29 as “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who served during the Vietnam War. We believe a designation at this time would be a fitting tribute to all who served during the Vietnam War, including the more than 58,000 Americans who gave their lives in service to our country.

We appreciate your commitment to our veterans and your tireless work to ensure that our newest veterans receive the recognition, benefits and care they deserve from a grateful nation. But we must also remember the men and women who bravely and faithfully served during the Vietnam War. Upon their return home, Vietnam veterans were caught in the crossfire of public debate about our country’s involvement in the conflict. As a result, they were denied appropriate recognition and honor for their service.

Over the past four years, Congress has worked to right this wrong and provide a proper homecoming for our Vietnam veterans. Beginning in 2007, bipartisan resolutions have passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and the Senate expressing support for the designation of a “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” A Presidential proclamation would officially designate a “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” and ensure that all Americans remember and honor the service of these brave men and women. We believe that March 29 would be an appropriate date for this observance because it marks the date that the United States completed the withdrawal of all combat troops from Vietnam.

Vietnam veterans and their families deserve our gratitude for their countless sacrifices. In the words of President John F. Kennedy, “A nation reveals itself not only by the citizens it produces, but also by the citizens it honors, the citizens it remembers.” Designating March 29 as an annual “National Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” would be an important step toward recognizing our Vietnam veterans as the heroes they are and giving them a long overdue welcome home.

Thank you for your attention to this important request. We look forward to your prompt reply.

The Honorable Eric Cantor

Majority Leader

U.S. House of Representatives

303 Cannon House Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20515-4607

Dear Congressman Cantor:

On March 29, 1973, the last 2,500 American combat troops were withdrawn from the

former South Vietnam, thus ending our military involvement in a divisive, militarily

inconclusive war. More than 58,000 American men and women were lost to the longest

war in recent American history; more than 300,000 were wounded.

Despite the physical and the psychological scars that have affected our political and

military decision-making through the present day, there can be no doubt that our troops

and support personnel accorded themselves in the finest traditions of the American

military from any war in which Americans have taken up arms in defense of freedom

from oppression.

For far too long, however, Vietnam veterans were treated as pariahs at worst. At best, we

were ignored. We were slandered by the mass media. Negative stereotypes prevailed,

despite the fact that most of us returned home to productive and fulfilling lives. The

unfortunate image, as you know, started to change, slowly, gradually, perhaps initially

with the building of the national Vietnam Veterans Memorial – The Wall – here in

Washington, with the “Welcome Home” parade and unveiling of the Vietnam Veterans

Memorial in New York City – and with scores of other memorials across the country.

Dozens of books – novels and histories and memoirs – and in-depth magazine pieces

were published, the sum total of which gave a very different portrait of the “grunt” as a

sympathetic figure, not the doped up baby killer of earlier lore. And Vietnam Veterans of

America, VVA, became the only congressionally chartered Vietnam veterans service

organization that advocated and agitated for issues of import to veterans and our families,

issues like the long-term effects of toxic exposures from herbicides like Agent Orange,

issues like what is now known as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

Honorable Eric Cantor

Majority Leader

November 23, 2011

-2-

Over the past few years, several states, by annual act or resolution, have designated a day

usually at the end of March “Vietnam Veterans Day” to honor, however belatedly, their

veterans who served honorably and whose service was ignored for so many years. In the

past few years, too, Congress, led by Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Rep. Linda

Sanchez (D-Calif), have sponsored resolutions designating one day at the end of March –

March 30th

, in the case of Rep. Sanchez – as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.”

While we disagree with the date – the correct date is, in fact, the 29th

– we do embrace the

purpose: to observe with appropriate ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of

the contributions of the veterans who served honorably and well in Southeast Asia. The

young men and women who have fought in Southwest Asia acknowledge the debt owed

to those who served at an earlier time in Southeast Asia. In this time of fiscal austerity,�

designating March 29th

“Vietnam Veterans Day” will cost not a dime.

This is not a Democratic issue, nor is it a Republican one. It is bipartisan; or, if you

prefer, non-partisan. Either way, we hope you will agree.

We thank you for what you do for America’s veterans.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR FELLOW SENATORS ON THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND ALSO WITH THE EQUIVALENT MEMBERS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Dear Senator Burr: Thank you for the initiative to recognize the sacrifice and service of Vietnam Veterans and their respective families but the day that has been chosen, March 30th, has been ill advised. Also it should not be just for this year but it should be legislated to establish March 29th as "Vietnam Veterans Day" to be a permanent day to remember and honor those who served during the Vietnam Era, their families and those who supported them while they served and when they came home. For your information, my best friend from high school, Steve Mylant, was killed in Vietnam in 1967 and is my driving force to make sure that his sacrifice is remembered and respected along with that of the other fellow soldiers who died in Vietnam, as well as those who came back with the physical and emotional scars, and those who served, as well as the families who lost a loved or dedicated a lifetime to help heal a wounded Vietnam Veteran. It is also the driving force to make sure that no other generation of our nation's defenders or veterans are ever treated and abandoned like the Vietnam Veterans were, especially by their fellow veterans. There is no confusion or options as to the day and month being March 29th, to forever memorialize the sacrifice and service of Vietnam Veterans, their families and those who supported them. Would like to remind you Senator that nothing has been brought forth to historically justify changing this day of tribute to March 30th. On the contrary, March 30th is a day and month when our enemy numerous times did not respect our good will, violated the Peace Treaty and continued to kill our men and women as well as our allies and should not be the day to remember and honor the Vietnam Veterans sacrifice and service as well as that of their families. March 30, 1972 - NVA Eastertide attack across the DMZ and on Quang Tri begins and March 30, 1975 - Da Nang falls as 100,000 South Vietnamese soldiers surrender after being abandoned by their commanding officers. The tribute should not be connected to March 30, 2010 - The United States and Vietnam signed an agreement today that may pave the way for U.S. firms to help build nuclear plants there. Links to this information below. The day with dignity and honor to establish this recognition of the Vietnam Veterans and their families sacrifice and service is best identified with the official withdrawal of combat troops from Vietnam ordered by President Nixon on March 29th of 1973. It was also the day and month in 1974 that under the urging of Congress, President Nixon


recognized the sacrifice and contributions of those who served in Vietnam and their families and declared it as Vietnam Veterans Day. There are some that claim using March 29th is not acceptable because of the reported conviction of Lt. William Calley on that day and month in 1971. On the contrary being that he was one of a very few convicted, it actually vindicates the rest of the Vietnam Veterans and recognizes them for serving with honor and respect of life even though they were in harm’s way and fighting an enemy that did not uphold the same values for the life of a fellow human being and were vicious and merciless with any American or allied soldier they captured as documented by our Prisoners of War. It did not stop Congress and President Nixon in 1974 from supporting and honoring the Vietnam Veterans and their families while Calley’s conviction was still fresh in the citizens’ minds. May God give you the strength to do what you know is right, rise to the occasion and make the extra effort to make sure this, Vietnam Veterans and their families, new wound will not take another unjustified day to heal. You need to also know that any delays will also create wounds in our new generation of Veterans and current defenders and their respective families. These new veterans and defenders identify with the Vietnam Veteran and know that their respected standing and support they have experienced, has been achieved by the vigilance and the great price paid by the Vietnam Veterans (joined by the Veterans in the organizations who did not wait for an official endorsement of their actions by their respective Veterans organizations) went to the citizens to gain support for this new generation of veterans and troops.

Proclamation 5336 -- Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day, 1985

May 7, 1985

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

As President and Commander in Chief, I have been pleased to witness a new and abiding recognition of those brave Americans who answered their country's call and served in the defense of freedom in the Republic of South Vietnam. That recognition, figured in the Memorial the Federal government accepted last November as a permanent sign of our determination to keep faith with those who served in that conflict, is both the result and the cause of a new unity among our people. Ten years after American personnel left Vietnam, we honor and remember the deeds of a group of veterans who served as selflessly and fought as courageously as any in our history.

Together we have come through a decade of disillusionment and doubt and reached a new consensus born of conviction -- that, however long the wisdom and merits of U.S. policy in the Vietnam era may be debated, no one can withhold from those who wore our country's uniform in Southeast Asia the homage that is their due. Their cause was our cause, and it is the cause that animates all of our experience as a Nation. Americans have never believed that freedom was the sole prerogative of a few, a grant of governmental power, or a title of wealth or nobility. We have always believed that freedom was the birthright of all peoples, and our Vietnam-era veterans pledged their lives -- and almost 60,000 lost them -- in pursuit of that ideal, not for themselves, but for a suffering people half a world away.

On this day, we recall these sacrifices and say again to our Vietnam veterans: Your cause is our cause. We have not forgotten you. We will not forget you. To those who were killed in Vietnam we say: Your names are inscribed not only on the walls of black granite on the Mall in our Nation's Capital, but in the hearts of your fellow Americans. To those still listed as missing in action in Southeast Asia: We have raised the fullest possible accounting of your fate to one of highest national priority. To those who returned and resumed their daily lives in our Nation's cities, towns, and farms: We will continue to meet our commitment to compensation and health care programs for the more than 300,000 service-disabled Vietnam veterans and to programs to aid in Vietnam veterans' readjustment.

To all of our Vietnam-era veterans, we rededicate ourselves on this day to offer our continuing praise and thanks for your courage and patriotism. We pledge that our Nation will never forget the men and women who gave so much of themselves on behalf of the highest of human ideals.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 128, has designated May 7, 1985, as ``Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day'' and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation commemorating this important observance.

Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 7, 1985, as Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day. I urge all citizens, community leaders, interested organizations, and government officials to observe this day with programs, ceremonies, and activities that commemorate the service and sacrifices of the more than 3 million brave men and women who served in Vietnam.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and ninth.

Ronald Reagan

Proclamation 4270 - Vietnam Veterans Day February 26, 1974

By the President of the United States Of America

A Proclamation

As America enters its second year of peace after a decade of conflict, it is highly appropriate

for us to acknowledge the debt we owe to those veterans who served in the Armed Forces

during the conflict in Southeast Asia. The untiring devotion that characterized our Armed

Forces during this trying conflict is a tribute to the national character.

There are over six and one-half million Vietnam-era veterans, of whom more than two and

one-half million served in Vietnam. Despite significant disruptions in their lives and other

personal sacrifices, they answered the call of their country and served with great distinction.

As a Nation, we have acknowledged our deep respect and admiration by setting aside March

29, 1974, as Vietnam Veterans Day to remember that the honorable peace America achieved

came through great sacrifice. Those who served, those who gave their lives, those who were

disabled, and those who are still missing in Southeast Asia--and whose full accounting we

shall continue to seek--deserve the profound gratitude of their countrymen. For this purpose,

the Congress has authorized and requested me to issue a proclamation designating March 29,

1974, as Vietnam Veterans Day.

Now, Therefore, I, Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States of America, urge the

people of this Nation to join in commemorating Friday, March 29, 1974, as Vietnam

Veterans Day with suitable observances.

I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to arrange for the display of the flag of

the United States on all public buildings on that day; and I request officials of Federal, State,

and local Governments, and civic and patriotic organizations, to give their enthusiastic

support to appropriate ceremonies and observances throughout the Nation.

I urge all citizens of every age to participate in the events of this day as one means of

honoring those men and women who served their country faithfully and courageously during

the Vietnam conflict.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of February, in the

year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States

of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.
