50th Anniversary of Paris Peace Accords Nears

Letters to the Editor 2019

By Richard Nelson, West Cape May

To the Editor: 
This month, on Jan. 27, we observe the 50th anniversary of the Paris Peace Accords that outlined the end of the Vietnam War for the U.S. By March 29, 1973, all U.S. ground troops had left Vietnam.
Those Vietnam War veterans served the nation when called more than 50 years ago and are still serving. They are committed to serving their families, communities, and fellow veterans.
I felt a need to submit this information being a veteran, not of the Vietnam War, but as a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 386, in Cape May, where Vietnam veterans represent the largest segment of the membership and with whom I have enjoyed the camaraderie.
It has been quite some time since they were described by the media as broken-down veterans. Let’s give them the respect they deserve on this anniversary they did not receive when returning home.
