Today, on National Vietnam War Veterans Day, the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs proudly honors the brave men and women who served during the Vietnam War.

More than 3 million Americans answered the call to serve during this challenging chapter in our nation’s history, demonstrating courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our freedoms.

We recognize that many Vietnam veterans did not receive the welcome home they deserved. Today—and every day—we say: Welcome home and thank you.

The DMVA remains committed to ensuring that the service and sacrifice of Pennsylvania’s Vietnam veterans and their families are never forgotten.

As we reflect on March 29—the day marking the departure of the last U.S. combat troops from Vietnam in 1973 —we renew our promise to honor their legacy, support those who served, and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

🇺🇸 Join us in honoring our Vietnam veterans today.

35 years ago tonight, the world changed as Operation Desert Storm began. On January 16/17, 1991, the air campaign was launched to liberate Kuwait, marking one of the largest coalition efforts in history.

Today, we honor the nearly 700,000 U.S. service members and the international partners who answered the call. To all the Gulf War veterans who served with courage and precision—we thank you for your service and remember those who didn't come home.
