President Eisenhower sent US advisers to Vietnam in 1955. President Kennedy sent US Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam in 1961. President Johnson sent US Marines to Vietnam in 1965, and commenced the first AIR CAMPAIGN over North Vietnam called, "Operation ROLLING THUNDER'. President Nixon ordered US Gound Troops to invade/attack the countries of Cambodia and Lao's, and commenced the heaviest B-52 bomber campaigns in military history over North Vietnam in 1972 with operation's titled "Linebacker I" & "Linebacker II", (which also resulted in heavy B-52 Bomber losses). Under President Nixon, the "Paris Peace Accord" was signed in 1973. Thus ending the war for the US.
