The Vietnam War was a highly controversial conflict that divided the American public. Many Americans opposed the war because they believed it was a civil war that the United States had no business getting involved in. Others supported the war because they believed it was necessary to stop the spread of communism. The anti-war movement grew in strength throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, fueled by opposition to the draft, the high number of casualties, and the government's handling of the war. Protests against the war were often violent and led to clashes with police³.

When Vietnam veterans returned home, they were often met with hostility and indifference from their fellow Americans. Many people blamed them for the war and saw them as symbols of a failed policy. It wasn't until years later that Americans began to recognize the sacrifices made by Vietnam veterans and to honor their service⁷.
