Vietnam Project By: Marcus Sura

December 11, 1961 The first helicopters landed in Vietnam on this date. Its important because it was the first real amount of the troops transported to Vietnam. We got into the war by bringing in more troops after this date. It was one of the last tasks of President Kennedy before he was killed.

July 23, 1962 First fire on Vietnam- this is important because it showed that we were going to get involved in another countries problems.

June 11, 1963 The monk in Vietnam lit himself on fire before the Vietnam War. This was really important as it was broadcasted in America and showed people the horror of the war. People in America stopped supporting the war. They turned against Johnson and the soldiers. They would travel to another country or get thrown in jail as to not serve in the war.

November 2, 1963 Diem was removed from office. He used the money that we came him for economic help and used it for his own use. The South Vietnamese kicked him out after because he wasn’t doing his job of protecting them.

July 27, 1964 Another 5000 troops get sent to Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson shipped more troops to help those already over in Vietnam and to protect those who didn’t want to be communist. It showed that we were more serious in what we were doing with the Vietnam country.

August 2, 1964 The USS Maddox was a United States ship off the coast of North Vietnam. The commander of the ship thought that he was being shot at by the Vietcong on this night and opened fire on a city.

August 7, 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution- This resolution was made between LBJ and Congress. It came Johnson the power to do whatever necessary to protect the American troops and the South Vietnamese without an officially declaration of war.

March 2, 1965 Operation Rolling Thunder was a the bombing of North Vietnam. Its mission was to destroy the amount of land they could govern and to demoralize the North Vietnam people.

June 5, 1965 The US State Department announces that American troops are engaged in combat.

August 21, 1965 Operation Starlite was the first offensive military action conducted by a purely U.S. military unit during the Vietnam War. Lieutenant General Lewis W. Walt devised a plan to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Viet Cong regiment to nullify the threat on the vital Chu Lai base and ensure its powerful communication tower remained intact.

June 15 – August 3, 1966 Operation Hastings was an American military operation in the Vietnam War. The operation was a qualified success in that it pushed the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) forces back across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

1966 LBJ meets with Vietnamese leaders-U.S. President Lyndon Johnson meets with South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and his military advisors in Honolulu. Johnson promises to continue to help South Vietnam fend off aggression from the North, but adds that the US will be monitoring South Vietnam's efforts to expand democracy and improve economic conditions for its citizens.

January 30, 1968 Tet Offensive- The purpose of the offensive was to strike military and civilian command and control centers throughout South Vietnam and to spark a general uprising among the population that would then topple the Saigon government, thus ending the war in a single blow.

May 10-20, 1969 Hamburger Hill- Although the heavily fortified Hill 937 was of little strategic value, U.S. command ordered its capture by direct assault, only to abandon it soon after. The debacle caused an outrage both in the American military and public.

December 31, 1969 Nixon starts to send home troops. It came parents the thought that they could see their children again. It was too hard to supply troops in a country where we were losing and weren’t gaining any ground but losing many lives.
