Dogs can die of bloat within several hours. Even with treatment, as many as 25-33% of dogs with GDV die. The gastric dilatation is one part of the condition and the volvulus or torsion is the second part. In bloat (dilatation), due to a number of different and sometimes unknown reasons, the stomach fills up with air and puts pressure on the other organs and diaphragm. The pressure on the diaphragm makes it difficult for the dog to breathe.
The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to American forces, and played a major role in North Vietnam winning the war. The Cu Chi tunnels were built over a period of 25 years that began sometime in the late 1940s during the war against the French.
When was the Vietnam Memorial built? This significant structure is situated right in the heart of the nationâs capital, Washington D. C. It was built and dedicated on November 13th in 1982. Before that, construction of the Vietnam Veterans Peace and Brotherhood Chapel in New Mexico took place in 1971. Although this move was made to commemorate only a group of U.S. soldiers that was ambushed in Vietnam, it inspired the government to build a much larger memorial for all those who died in the Vietnam War. The U.S. captured Saigon on April 30, 1975.
