March 29 marks Vietnam Veterans Day. In Minnesota, we are proud to recognize more than 103,000 Vietnam-era Veterans, the largest group of Veterans among our total of 304,000. Vietnam-era Veterans served between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975.
While the Minnesota Legislature designated this special day of recognition in 2008, the National Vietnam War Veterans Day was enacted in 2017. Vietnam Veterans Day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam Veterans and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home more than 40 years ago.
