Fifty years after American troops returned residence from the Vietnam Warfare, which claimed the lives of greater than 58,000 U.S. service members, together with 5,822 Californians, we pay tribute to the brave women and men who served and sacrificed in one among our nation’s most difficult wars.

Half a century on, allow us to recommit to lifting up the legacy of our Vietnam veterans and upholding our basic responsibility to honor service members with the assist, gratitude and respect they’re rightfully owed. California is proud to face by our veterans and deeply dedicated to making sure they and their households obtain the care and advantages they’ve earned many instances over.
NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim March 30, 2023, as “Welcome Residence Vietnam Veterans Day.”
