Vietnam Veterans are individuals who served in the military during the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975. This conflict involved the United States and its allies supporting the government of South Vietnam against the communist forces of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Many veterans faced significant challenges upon returning home, including physical injuries and psychological issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The experiences of Vietnam Veterans have led to increased awareness and advocacy for veterans' rights and mental health support. Organizations like the Vietnam Veterans of America work to address the needs of these veterans and honor their service. The legacy of the Vietnam War continues to influence discussions about military engagement and veteran care in the United States.
