This scarce pin was issued and sold in the mid to late 1960s to raise funds and support for ending the war in Viet Nam and bringing U.S. Troops home.The pin displays a gruesome photograph of several U.S. servicemen laying dead on a battlefield in Vietnam, and sarcastically reads: BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW! Unfortunately too late for the victims of the war pictured on the pin. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Vietnam War, (1954–75), was a protracted conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam and its allies in South Vietnam, known as the Viet Cong, against the government of South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. In North Vietnam, this phase phase of the war was called the “American War” in Vietnam (or, in full, the “War Against the Americans to Save the Nation”).The defeat of the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 1954, ended French rule in Indochina. The final Geneva Accords in July 1954, divided Viet Nam in two: North and South Vietnam. The Geneva Accords provided that nationwide elections, to decide the future of Vietnam, North and South, were to be held in 1956. However, the government in South Vietnam refused to participate in elections, asserting its independence with the protection and support of the U. S.. U.S. military advisers, present in small numbers throughout the 1950s in South Vietnam, were introduced on a large scale beginning in 1961, and active combat units were introduced in 1963 - 4. By 1965 the U.S. had 184,300 and by 1968 had 536,100 combat troops stationed in Vietnam.
