Texas Vietnam veterans mark 50th anniversary of leaving the country
Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the last American troops leaving Vietnam. Former President Donald Trump first declared March 29 National Vietnam War Veterans Day in 2017.
"It's just sad that when we came home, nobody cared," says Ross Bigley, a sailor who was in Vietnam on the last day American troops were there."That's the sad thing. As a Vietnam veteran, I always made a point to make sure people who came home from Iraq and Afghanistan, I shook their hand."
