Eight Days from Now...

Post by cbaltrin »

Did you know eight days from now will be the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War? The Paris Peace Accords were signed on Jan 27th, 1973.

Same year as the end of horsepower. :bag:
That is a significant milestone - I wonder if their are any service/ceremonies/specials etc planned. :hmm:
Thanks,

I remember listening to a live radio broadcast from a USN ship in the waters around there when the ceasefire went into effect.

Most commemorations are held on the anniversary date for when Saigon fell to the communists two years later.
