This. I believe. we must do. but. in our eagerness to leave Vietnam behind. to build a better future. let us not forget the casualties of this long and costly conflict. I do not speak now of the Vietnamese people. for Congress has indicated that it will come to the aid of these refugees. The House has. in fact. already appropriated $405 million to take care of some 115.000 Vietnamese refugees. I speak rather of our own people. the young Americans who found and made endless sacrifices during the course of our long involvement in Vietnam. but who returned home to a. not ungrateful. but decidedly weary and less than enthusiastic people. In a special report on the problems of the Vietnam veteran. the National Advisory Council on Vocational Education expressed most clearly the countrys mood toward the young veteran: the Council wrote: Once again the veterans return from war.
