Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate say the U.S. owes veterans of the Vietnam War a long-overdue formal apology for the treatment they received during their time abroad and upon returning home.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas and Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska introduced a joint resolution on Friday that would commend those who served in the conflict “for their unwavering and courageous sacrifice to our nation.”
Approximately 2.7 million men and women served in the Vietnam War, which began in 1961 and lasted until 1975. Of those, more than 58,000 lost their lives and more than 300,000 were wounded. The lawmakers behind the resolution cite “biased and shameful attacks” from the media, academics and politicians on those who returned “as a result of decisions [that] were beyond their control.”
