Показать описание
50 years ago today, on March 29, 1973, the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished. It was also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam and on or around this same day, Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war.

This morning, a group of IOWA's Vietnam vets rang the ship's bell in honor of the occasion.
