WHEREAS, the Vietnam Veterans served their country during a
painful time in a bitter war, and
WHEREAS, instead of returning to the welcome which this nation
showered upon returning veterans of past wars, the
Vietnam Veterans were often met with our embarrassment
or ignored, and
WHEREAS, the honor of those who died in Vietnam is not tarnished
by our uncertainty at the moment of their sacrifice and
we should therefore offer our respect and gratitude,
and
WHEREAS, for those who still bear the wounds, both physical and
psychic, we should acknowledge our continuing responsi-
bility,
