Vietnam Vets Day Bill Passes House

All 130 members of the Minnesota House voted for the bill that would designate March 29th as Vietnam Veterans Day. Bill sponsor and Walker lawmaker Larry Howes said this is one small thing we can do for the men and women who served in Vietnam. Edina lawmaker Ron Erhardt said he would vote for the bill but was not enthralled about setting a day for every war ever conceived. A companion bill in the Minnesota Senate is sponsored by Hewitt lawmaker Dan Skogen. March 29, 1973 is the day the last of American troops were withdrawn from Vietnam.
