National Vietnam War Veterans Day 2020
 |
The Tet Offensive was a series of North Vietnamese attacks on more than 100 cities and outposts in South Vietnam.
Upon his return to the United States he was abused by the west coast hippie movement who cursed him for his service, called him unspeakable names, and threw rocks and other things at him as he tried to make his way through the airport with two broken collarbones and both arms trussed up in slings.
Such is the leftist idiocy and unfortunately much of it remains to this day.
The offensive was an attempt to spur rebellion among the South Vietnamese population and adversely influence the US participation therein.
Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This is an annual holiday in the US recognizing US military veterans who served during the Vietnam War.
March 29 was chosen as National Vietnam War Veterans Day because on March 29, 1973, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) was disbanded and the last US combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam.
The last unit consisted of elements of MACV's Infantry Security Force who were in actuality special couriers.
My step father was a highly decorated hero of the United States of America. He did not deserve the rude welcome and attempts to harm him he received upon his return from Vietnam from the hostile idiot hippie movement of that era.
