President Nixon signed a proclamation declaring March 29 as Vietnam Veterans Day to mark the first anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. He praised veterans, spoke of peace with honor, and described the Nixon Doctrine of supporting allies with arms and aid.
Nixon said the war was long and divisive but must end in a way that earns respect for the United States. He argued for a strong military and a country seen as a peace maker, not backing away from its global role.
President Nixon plans several public appearances in the coming weeks outside Washington. An hour long Q and A is set for March 19 at the Houston Convention of the National Association of Broadcasters and would be broadcast live. Reports also place a Chicago stop early next month, though the White House has not confirmed.
White House and Veterans Administration officials acknowledge payment issues but attribute most delays to errors by training institutions veterans and the VA. Johnson cites 1.042 thousand current complaints among 1.4 million GI Bill enrollees and outlines causes including misfiled forms moved addresses and missing proof for courses.
