March 29, 1973 is the anniversary of the day the last official US troops left Vietnam, eleven years after the beginning of the war...actually conflict. War was never officially declared. During those 11 years over 58,000 Americans lost their life. Each name is commemorated in black marble at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC.
The Vietnam War forever changed American culture. It was the first prolonged conflict that was never won or lost and it was hugely unpopular with the American public. It defined the 1960s, gave birth to the hippy movement, flower children and ushered in the drug culture. It continues to plague many who lived through it on both sides, physically and psychologically. For the Vietnamese, it is estimated 2 million civilians and 1.1 million fighters also lost their lives.
This day is set aside by Presidential Proclamation each year to honor the men and women who gave their lives during the Vietnam war.
