With the publication of the May/June 2025 issue of The VVA Veteran, and its accompanying “50 Years Ago” feature, we have reached the end of American combat involvement in Vietnam.

This raised the question of what should become of this regular, chronological look back at the daily events surrounding the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War and Southeast Asia generally.

Recognizing the value of this retrospective, we will be reworking our “50 Years Ago” feature and reintroducing it in its new form, “Year in Review,” in our January/February 2026 issue.

Beginning in that issue, we will go back to 1966, reviewing the key events and decisions made over the course of that year, and work our way forward in time through subsequent issues.
