WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tony Wied (R-WI-08) and U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) introduced a bipartisan bill to honor veterans who participated in Operation End Sweep with the Vietnam Service Medal. Currently, participants in Operation End Sweep, a mission to clear dangerous mines from Haiphong harbor and surrounding waters in North Vietnam after the war concluded, are ineligible for this service medal because their service took place after the United States had officially withdrawn from Vietnam in January 1973.
WASHINGTON – Congressman Tony Wied (R-Wis.) and Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) yesterday introduced a bipartisan resolution designating the last Saturday of March as "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day."
The resolution provides long-overdue recognition to thousands of Vietnam War veterans for their selfless service to the nation. The last Saturday of March, which this year falls on March 29, marks the day when the final U.S. combat troops completed their service and departed Vietnam.
