Thank You Vietnam Veterans
Today, Wednesday, the 29th, is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. 50 years have now passed since the final American military forces left Vietnam. Did you know Vietnam War-era veterans went on to lead Fortune 500 companies, direct Oscar-winning films, create a prominent computer-programming language, & even map the human genome? Today, there are approximately 6 million living veterans from the Vietnam era. MAN, that's more than 30% of America's veteran population. Earlier this morning, a National Veterans Memorial & Museum's Welcome Home Ceremony was held with keynote speaker, Capt. J. Charles "Charlie" Plumb (USN, Ret,) a naval aviator who was shot down & held prisoner in Vietnam for 6 years! Today's a national opportunity for all of us to show & share our thanks & sincere appreciation for all the sacrifices by these men & women. Thank YOU, Vietnam veterans.
