The date was chosen to observe the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam, and the last of the prisoners of war were released.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday is also known as \u201cWelcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day,\u201d and is typically celebrated with in-person ceremonies and large gatherings such as dinners and reunions. This year the events have been curtailed due to the virus, but small observances will be held at Veterans cemeteries, VFW posts and the like.<\/p>\n<p>The ill treatment of our returning veterans cannot be changed or excused, but a day to remember the sacrifices of this generation of Americans, long over due, is most welcome. For all our Veterans of that era, today is your day. <\/p>\n<p>Hand salute.
