Vietnam veteran Vince McGowan points to one a phrase on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in lower Manhattan. The wall is inscribed with letters to families from troops in Vietnam and their letters home. One of his favorite is, "we were soldiers when soldiers weren't fashionable." On March 30, 1973, the United States Armed Forces completed the withdrawal of combat units and combat support units from South Vietnam. In 2011, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution making March 30th 'Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.' For the last 38 years Vietnam veterans have been fighting for recognition and respect.
