| Bill Marks March 29 as Vietnam Vets Day in ND |
| 1/28/2009 |
| North Dakota may be observing March 29 as Vietnam Veterans Day. North Dakota`s Senate unanimously approved a bill that sets aside the day to honor Vietnam veterans. It says the governor would have to issue a proclamation every year. The bill now goes to the North Dakota House. If it gets two-thirds approval there, the day could be celebrated in less than two months. Minot Sen. Robert Horne says Vietnam veterans rate their own day because the Vietnam War was unpopular and many veterans were vilified when they returned home. Horne says other states have designated March 29 as Vietnam Veterans Day. That was the day the last American forces were withdrawn from Vietnam in 1973. The bill is SB2192. |
