We have a remembrance day tomorrow. It will be 'Vietnam Veterans Day'. January 12, 1962 Presidential Proclamation. From a section of the proclamation. 'NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 29, 2012, as Vietnam Veterans Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that commemorate the 50 year
anniversary of the Vietnam War.'.
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said 'The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.'
[The Hankster says] We are still here after all these years, so I guess at least sum of our forefathers/foremothers managed to balance opposing ideas. We may not agree with or even abhore some events and praise others. We break history into dates and events. Here is the date under consideration, March 29. The events follow. BTW, Yes, I looked it up and there is such a word as foremother, we must be politically correct. We wouldn't want to be unbalanced in the use of gender, now would we?

March origin (from Wikipedia):
'The name of March comes from Latin Martius, the first month of the earliest
Roman calendar. It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also

through his sons Romulus and Remus.

'is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
It is one of seven months that are 31 days long. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March.
The March equinox on the 20th or 21st marks the astronomical beginning of
spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the
Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the
