National Vietnam War Veterans Day 2021

 I honor the valor of all who served in Vietnam.

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.

The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, signed into law in 2017, designates March 29 of each year as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” on March 29 or 30 of each year. Though there is some debate, March 29 is generally viewed as a more appropriate date. On that day in 1973, the last combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam and the last prisoners of war held in North Vietnam arrived on American soil. It is also the date President Nixon chose for the first Vietnam Veterans Day in 1974.

Wong did resign and the Mayor knew it

The Patch did some digging into the Sam Wong departure from the BOH. And as it turns out, he didn't go out on medical leave like the Mayor said. He took all his accumulated vacation time and resigned. I wish the Mayor had just spoke the truth and not tried to cover his departure up. The Patch reporter did his homework and even after being denied the information through a FIOA request, he never stopped asking. Good for us. Too bad there's no one at the MWDN to dig into these matters.
