The U. S. Government does not make a distinction between Vietnam Era and Vietnam Veterans; our government officially refers to all as Vietnam Era Veterans, who served during the Vietnam War time period, regardless of the location the veteran served, and is a non-exact period that applies to the 1961 to 1976 timeframe.
The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. More than 3 million people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War, and more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians. Opposition to the war in the United States bitterly divided Americans, even after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. Communist forces ended the war by seizing control of South Vietnam in 1975, and the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam the following year. 1  Play video Chicago Seven Conspiracy Trial. 2  Play video Sound Smart: Vietnam War Protests. 3  Play video Nixon Addresses Silent Majority.
