Vietnam War Veterans Day recognizes those who served in the U.S. armed forces in the Vietnam War. It is observed annually on March 29, the day in 1973 when the last American combat troops left South Vietnam, a key event in the war’s conclusion.

The observance will also mark the end of the West Haven veterans group’s 19-month poster series on the Vietnam War. The series kicked off at City Hall in September 2023 and chronicled nearly every aspect of the war.
