It could be stated that the US involvement began on 10 August 1950 with the first US Arms aid to the to the pro French, South Vietnamese.
It could have begun when Eisenhower authorized Air American to support the French, or on 12 February 1954 when the first US Military advisers entered Vietnam or on 8 July 1959 when the first advisers were killed in combat (Air American crews didn't count, they were US civilians).
On 13 May 1961 Kennedy ordered in the first 100 Green Berets.
Involvement may have begun withe the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of 7 August 1964 or the start of "Operation Rolling Thunder on 8 February 1965 or the Marine landing on 8 March 1965. There are plenty of "start" dates to choose from.
