The Veterans Administration has adjusted its priorities to provide for the physical and mental wounds suffered by those who came home. Legislation for psychological readjustment counseling and for extention of GI Bill timelimits for educationally disadvantaged veterans have been strongly recommended to Congress. Outreach to all, Vietnam era veterans about the GI Bill is underway nationwide. Educational and vocational counseling services, efforts to reach incarcerated veterans, twenty new alcohol treatment units and other measures are in process to help these veterans.
But the government alone is not able to address one problem facing Vietnam era veterans—the lack of full respect and honor for their service and sacrifice to their country. Vietnam Veterans Week is the opportunity for all Americans to express their gratitude to these veterans.
We should all join the Congress and President Carter in observing it for what it is—a chance to express a nation’s appreciation to the nearly nine million men and women who served during the bitter years of the Vietnam Era.
