March 29, 1973, is the anniversary of the day the last official US troops left Vietnam, eleven years after the beginning of the war—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 was hugely unpopular with the American public. It defined the 1960s, gave birth to the hippy movement, and ushered in the drug culture. It continues to plague many who lived through it on both sides, physically and psychologically. An estimated two million civilians and 1.1 million fighters for the Vietnamese 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.
