Today, April 5, is Gold Star Wives Day, which is a day dedicated to those widows/widowers whose spouses died while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States, or as a result of service-connected disabilities. On this day Gold Star Wives come together to support one another, and to raise awareness of the incredible sacrifice that their spouse and the entire family made as a result of their military service.

Let us not forget the tremendous sacrifice of the Gold Star wives and families.

“Today, March 29th, is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Since 1974, US Presidents and the United States have honored Vietnam veterans on this day, marking the removal of the last troops from Vietnam on March 29, 1973. This day honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the longest conflict in United States history. Over 58,000 lives were lost during the Vietnam War, 304,000 were wounded and there are 1,246 Missing in Action. The US Senate passed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 and President Donald Trump signed the Act into law. The Act encourages the display of the flag of the United States on this National Day of Remembrance. Please remember our Vietnam veterans and thank them for their sacrifice and service to our country. Let's flood my post with pictures of your Vietnam vet! 🇱🇷”

Welcome Home! We honor and pay respect to who sacrificed so much during the Vietnam War.
