Such days, of course aren't actually federal holidays as there are only ten officially recognized, or eleven actual holidays, depending on if you count Christmas or not. Christmas isn't a national holiday I suppose because of the government not being allowed to recognize any religion. However , the government recognizes Juneteenth as an actual holiday, although slaves in Texas after the Civil War being told they weren't slaves anymore seems more like something the government has to be embarrassed about rather than proud of and giving everybody in government offices the day off.Vietnam War Veterans Day was first observed as a one-time occasion on March 29, 2012, when President Barack Obama issued a proclamation calling on “all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.”
The day was then introduced as an annual event in 2017 when President Donald Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017.
Meanwhile, if you are a Vietnam Veteran and puffing your chest out with pride, consider this. Here is the schedule for the rest of the month:
March 31: Cesar Chavez Day[9]
March 31: Transgender Day of Visibility[10]
