A Tribute to Vietnam Veterans
The war in Vietnam was one of longest lasting and most debatable wars fought by the U.S. armed forces. The conflict began in 1957 and ended in 1975.
Though the men fought hard many didn’t know exactly why, and were chosen via a draft to serve against their will.
They still did their part.
The hope was to help South Vietnam prevent the spread of communism coming from the North. The USA’s involvement was originally supposed to be minimal, but increased on to send more troops as the war continued and lasted longer and longer.
Many U.S. soldiers who served in Vietnam lost their lives or perhaps suffered long term effects such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and illnesses due to being exposed to the carcinogenic Agent Orange. Unlike troops of other wars, Vietnam Veterans were treated disrespectfully and never given the Welcome Home tribute they rightfully deserved.
This tribute is meant to show respect to the brave men and women that were sent off to this unpopular war and those who went ahead enlisted themselves.
