EDITORIAL: Honoring Vietnam veterans

| March 28, 2025 1:00 AM

Tomorrow marks Vietnam War Veterans Day, a chance to recognize the courage, sacrifice and resilience of those who served during one of the most challenging and controversial conflicts in American history. For too long, these veterans were denied the respect and gratitude they deserved, returning home to a nation divided and often hostile to their service. 

The Vietnam War was a complex chapter in our national story, and these veterans served with honor, despite facing unprecedented challenges both on the battlefield and back home. Many were conscripted and asked to bear burdens no young person should ever have to carry.
