50th Anniversary
Ending of Vietnam War
& Vietnam War Vets Day
March 29th
Celebrate all Vietnam Veterans every day, but make a special effort on March 29th, 2025, which is our National Vietnam War Veterans Day, signed into law by President Donald Trump, but also the 50th anniversary of the war's end.
At GLVFA, we have Vietnam Veterans (in-country service) as well as many more Vietnam War Era veterans. All of these vets, along with those who served during the Korean War, Cold War, Gulf War, Iraqi and Afghanistan Campaigns, deserve a hearty thank you for their service on this special day.

Vietnam Era Commemorative Pin: Eligibility and How To Request Pin
What is the commemorative pin all about?
Living U.S. veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible to receive one lapel pin.
There is no distinction between veterans who served in-country, in-theater, or who were stationed elsewhere during the Vietnam War period. All were called to serve, none could self-determine where they were stationed, and all were seen in the same way by a country that could not separate the war from the warrior, as we do today.
