March 29, 1973: Last U.S. Combat Troops Depart Vietnam

Forty years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam.

The following article is from Vietnam Veterans of America March-April 2013 edition. A Troop 3/17th Air Cav lost 56 brave Troopers serving our country from 1967-1971. Five during my tour with the Silver Spurs. These fallen heroes are not forgotten by their families or the Troopers that served with them when our country called.
