T3e fighting could have stopped before it began in the 1950s had the people of South Vietnam preferred to foresake freedom for communism. The fighting began because the North Vietnamese continued their aggression and because millions of South Vietnamese fought communism to their death. Since the signing of the Geneva accords in 1954. the refugees had always flowed south. not north. Today. in the absence of a free Vietnam. the refugees flow west to the U.S. mainland by the millions. The Nation and Congress should take every opportunity to pay public tribute to those highly deserving men and women who served the United States honorably in Vietnam. The Vietnam veterans should bask in the glory of having served.
