Mixed thoughts: Vietnam War - Nov 1, 1955 – Apr 30, 1975 Vietnam: U.S. Advisors 1955-1965. The U.S. military advisory effort in Vietnam had a modest beginning in September 1950, when the United States Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG), Vietnam, was established in Saigon. Vietnam era - February 28, 1961 – May 7, 1975 for Veterans who served in the Republic of Vietnam during that period Otherwise August 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975
In September-October, 1965, it was announced to San Diego Navy Boot Camp that the war was escalating and we all were headed there.
