Vietnam Veterans Day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans
and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men
and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home more
than 40 years ago.
Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” on March 29
or 30 of each year. Though there is some debate, March 29 is generally
viewed as a more appropriate date. On that day in 1973, the last combat
troops were withdrawn from Vietnam and the last prisoners of war held in
North Vietnam arrived on American soil. It is also the date President
Nixon chose for the first Vietnam Veterans Day in 1974.
Of the 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam, Less than 850,000
are estimated to be alive today, with the youngest American Vietnam
veteran's age approximated to be 54 years old. If you have a Vietnam Veteran in your family take the time to honor their service.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
