I had forgotten the date.

To my fellow Vietnam veterans, I salute you.

Am a Vietnam Era veteran, thanks to the "wisdom" of the Army, never deployed to Viet Nam. We don't forget.

However, that being said, this is not directly firearms related.

I didn't know, thanks. My father served there..he is at rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

Why March 29? Official end of the conflict was 4/30/1975?

29 March is a fitting choice for a day honoring Vietnam veterans. It was chosen to be observed in perpetuity as March 29, 1973 was the day United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam. In addition, on and around this same day Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war.
