War...and its Aftermath<br />
On Friday, the 27th day of January, 1972, the war in Vietnam was formally brought to a close with the signing of a “cease fire” agreement in Paris. It was the longest war in American history having lasted something more than twelve years at a direct cost of more than $110 billion. It was also the most unpopular war, and the most controversial. Not many Americans were agreed upon what they were fighting for, or whether our goals had been realized when the armistice was signed. There was almost universal agreement however, that it was time, indeed long past time, to get our men out and go home.<br />
A disproportionate number of the men fighting in Southeast Asia were Black Americans.
