    Vince McGowan, Friends of the Vietnam Veterans Plaza board member, said that the idea of flying a flag representing the Vietnam war was controversial at the time, but now schools come to the plaza to explore the history of the war. 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.
