Vietnam War Commemoration

The Vietnam War Era ended 50 years ago, and our nation is honoring Vietnam War Era veterans with the last year of its 50th anniversary commemorations this year.

Across our nation, Americans are uniting to thank and honor Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. This is the mission of The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, a national 50th anniversary commemoration, authorized by Congress and reaffirmed by President Donald J. Trump in 2017.

Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Donald Canaday salutes Vietnam War-era veterans as his wife, Sharon, and Brig. Gen. Paige M. Jennings, U.S. Army Financial Management Command commanding general, look on during USAFMCOM’s Vietnam War commemoration at the Maj. Gen. Emmett J. Bean Federal Center in Indianapolis March 25, 2024. Canaday enlisted in the U.S. Army infantry in 1954, attended Officer Candidate School, commanded two artillery batteries, served in Vietnam from 1964-1965 as a senior advisor of a South Vietnamese infantry battalion, and served as commander of President Gerald Ford’s amnesty program of Vietnam deserters at Camp Atterbury, Indiana.
