OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - It was 50 years ago Wednesday when the last American combat troops left Vietnam: March 29, 1973.
It’s an anniversary that gives even more meaning to why we have National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
The Omaha National Cemetery will hold a ceremony marking the national day at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
It will be in the flag assembly area of the cemetery, which is the 90-foot-tall flagpole.
The cemetery is at Highway 50 and Schram Road, a few miles south of Interstate 80 and 144th Street.
