President Lydon B. Johnson Lied to the American people and claimed that the North Vietnamese navy patrol boats had attacked USA naval destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin and asked Congress for permission to attack North Vietnam in retaliation. Later, LBJ admitted that what really happened was the sailors on the USA ships saw some whales, or flying fish, and overreacted.

To remember those lost in the Vietnam War, you can participate in memorial events or ceremonies dedicated to honoring veterans and fallen soldiers. Visit war memorials or pay your respects at veterans' cemeteries. Educate yourself about the war and its impact by reading books, watching documentaries, or speaking to veterans and their families to gain a deeper understanding of their sacrifice.

About 345 men from Puerto Rico died in the Viet War. They weren't all soldiers, some were US Marines, Airmen and Sailors. Often times those men killed in action were awarded the Bronze Star medal. A photo of their (military issue) headstone will state what medal was issued (posthumously). The US military lists MOH recipients but not normally lesser awards.

The Mexican War of 1846-1848.

The Alamo (1836) was NOT part of US military actions; the Alamo was a TEXAS fight for independence from Mexico.

US Indian Wars continued however; in 1835, 107 settlers were killed at Wahoo Swamp, during the 2nd Seminole War, Florida.

The Vietnam War was primarily sparked by the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. sought to contain the spread of communism, while North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, aimed to unify Vietnam under a communist regime. The war resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, massive destruction, and deep divisions within American society. Ultimately, North Vietnam's victory led to the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.

General William Westmoreland was approximately 6 feet (183 cm) tall.

According to available information, there were around 2,225 search and rescue missions conducted by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. These missions were aimed at locating and rescuing downed aircrews or individuals in distress.

It is not accurate to say that all hawks wanted the US to send more troops into Vietnam and increase bombing. While some hawks believed in escalating military involvement, others favored alternative strategies such as increased bombing or counterinsurgency efforts. The position of hawks varied within the broader debate about the US's role in Vietnam.

During his first day in Vietnam, a soldier may have undergone orientation and received briefings about the local terrain, enemy tactics, and rules of engagement. He might have been assigned to a unit and introduced to his fellow soldiers. Additionally, he may have participated in a patrol or other mission to familiarize himself with the operational environment.

The USA helped a lot, but other countries like South Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand helped, as well.

If we have a system in which we democratically elect our representatives who then decide on our behalf that some of us must become involved in a war which is supposed to be in the nations best interest. Then perhaps we need not honor them but we are certainly responsible for them after having been forced to go out and fight for a corrupt foreign government that just happened to make friends with our politicians and arms lobby. It is not som uch a matter of honour it is a mater of appreciation and shared responsibility.

We honor those men and women who volunteer to protect our lives and our interests. Just as we honor firemen and law enforcement officer we honor military men and women.

Consider this: we make arbitrary laws that we as a society believe will protect our best interest such as drug laws and laws that protect property from theft. We protect the weak from those who would beat them up and take their stuff.

If you accept the fact that the world is a dangerous place and that there are countries , factions and groups who would do us harm then you must accept the fact that we have to defend ourselves and our interests. We elect people to make decisions on our behalf and every once in a while when all else fails we are faced with standing up to whoever threatens our existence.

Vietnam was one of these extraordinary situations when our elected leaders decided that since we had a treaty with countries in the region of southeast Asia that called for mutual protection in the event of aggression we chose to send troops to protect the Sovereign government of South Vietnam . Vietnam like Korea had been divided in half by the united nations at the behest of countries with factories, trade and personnel in these countries torn apart by civil strife. Communist in the north pushed south against the Capitalists without regard for treaties or The united Nations., Now it's one thing to try to unify a country and do away with the partition but the north and south were as different as cats and dogs with different cultures and different philosophy's. The communist wouldn't take no for an answer and waged war against the south. Our leaders believed that for economic reason, to honor our treaty and to stop a violent cruel take over of the peaceful democratic south that we should send troops.

We did not lose the the Vietnam war ..We left. When popular support for the war ended in 1969 we began to withdraw with most combat troops leaving the country by 1971. All advisors left in 1975 when the south could no longer hold back the hordes from the north. We trained and equipped with tanks and planes the south Vietnamese army but they were not able to hold the country.

November 11th we honor all Americans who have defended our country in all our wars and military conflicts at Veterans Day. May 31 were honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor the men and women who gave their lives defending our way of life. This Memorial Day remember that freedom comes with a cost. Winston Churchill said, " I thank God for the rough men who don't mind doing harm to others on my behalf". Until we find a way to stop evil in the world we will sometimes have to send our military to protect our way of life. There are those who for whatever reason, jealousy, greed or sheer barbarism must be stopped. Pity, It's the way of the world.

There is no honour in being forced through conscription to fight for another nations political interests.

The speed at which dominoes fall depends on various factors, such as the size and weight of the dominoes, the distance between them, and how they are set up. In a typical domino setup, they can fall at a rate of about 1 domino per second. However, with optimal conditions and skilled setup, dominoes can fall even faster, reaching speeds of several dominoes per second.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution expanded the powers of the President by giving him the authority to take military action in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war from Congress. This resolution effectively allowed the President to escalate US involvement in the Vietnam War without needing explicit permission from Congress. It is considered a significant expansion of executive power and has been used as a precedent for future military actions without congressional approval.

The draft used in Vietnam was called the Selective Service System. It was implemented to conscript eligible young men into the military, where they would be required to serve in the Vietnam War. The draft lottery was used to determine the order in which individuals would be called up for service.

A ceasefire in Vietnam occurred in 1973 through the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. The agreed-upon ceasefire involved the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of South Vietnam. The Accords aimed to end direct U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, achieve a ceasefire, and provide a path for a political settlement in the country.

Prisoner of War (POW) camps dotted North Vietnam (as they did in South Vietnam). The Hanoi Hilton was but one of them. It, like nearly all of the POW camps located in North Vietnam, contained shot down US airmen.

The US sought to win over the South Vietnamese by providing military assistance, economic aid, and support for the South Vietnamese government. This included sending troops to help train and advise the South Vietnamese military, providing financial aid for infrastructure development and social programs, and promoting the idea of democracy and freedom. Additionally, the US aimed to win hearts and minds through various propaganda campaigns and civic action programs aimed at improving the lives of the South Vietnamese people.
