Today is Vietnam Veterans Day, signed into being by President Trump in 2017. President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order in 2012 marking the day as such, but it did not outline a continuation of that honor. It is now so.
Hence forth, today, March 29th, in the USA will be officially known as Vietnam Veterans Day to recognize the sacrifices of all those who served in SE Asia during that long ago conflict. The day will also recognize the sacrifice of those affected family members: parents, widows, children, and siblings who dealt with the loss of loved ones among the 58, 000 service members who died there during the 10 years of the war.
It is fitting and proper that we do so, to borrow the well known phrase from a famous personage(AL).
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
