In 1959 i was 32 years old and i remember reading in the news print that President Eisenhower had sent advisors to Viet-nam or was going to send advisors.
Yes, it is correct, but to be more correct, it needs a hyphen: "The Vietnam War was over, and then-president Richard Nixon found himself embroiled in the Watergate scandal."
For military vets it is a bad luck symbol for soldiers drafted specifically in ww2, Korea, and Vietnam. It still survives today by some volunteer veterans as a symbol of service.

Vietnam
President Eisenhower sent military advisors and maybe some technicians to Vietnam to help the government there stay in power. That was the beginning of US involvement there.
President Eisenhower sent US Military Advisers to South Vietnam in 1955.
Eisenhower believed in the domino theory that justified intervention in Vietnam and he sent advisors to support the non-Communist government there. Kennedy greatly increased the military aid sent to Vietnam and had the US deeply involved there. Johnson then escalated the War greatly. So, you could say that Eisenhower started it, Kennedy made it inevitable and Johnson really made it a war.

Military
Eisenhower laid the groundwork for U.S. involvement in Vietnam with the Eisenhower Doctrine, which proclaimed that, when it came to the Middle East, the U.S. would be "prepared to use armed force...[to counter] aggression from any country controlled by international communism." Eisenhower was also the first president to send economic and military aid to South Vietnam. Kennedy followed in Eisenhower's footsteps by gradually increasing the amount of enonomic and military aid sent to South Vietnam. And it was Johnson who first sent large numbers of American ground troops to fight in Vietnam.
Vietnam war or Second Indochina war was a conflict between North Vietnam supported by USSR, China and communist regimes and South Vietnam supported by USA. Although President Kennedy realized the importance of engaging communist designs in Vietnam he was against full scale US military deployment in the region. However, after his assassination Lyndon Johnson took over and reversed the previous policy and ordered US military deployment in Vietnam in 1963.
Involvement in South Vietnam began in 1953 under the Eisenhower administration with 900 military advisors and US Air Force pilots flying for CAT (Air America). When President Kennedy was elected in November of 1960, Ike advised him that Vietnam and Southeast Asia were the critical area and needed a high priority for military assistance.
