Myself. On march 29, 1973 the last combat troops were withdrawn from vietnam. When they returned to the United States these veterans like many who returned earlier were greeted with a cold and at times hostile reception. Looking back more than 50 years at the experience during the vietnam war and return home, billy two feathers who served with u. S. Army wrote my return to the states was typical of several people i talked to. Family and friends would say been a while. Others would call me names that i wont repeat. Kenneth bizby who served in vietnam wrote when i got back to my hometown no one seemed to notice that i had been away nor did they care. These accounts and others record the National Sentiment on a personal level. Their stories remind us that most returning veterans were not even acknowledged for their sacrifice and that many suffered because of it. While the nation has worked to correct this mistake over the last few decades there is more congress can do to honor our Vietnam
