The obverse features a rendering of the Vietnam Veterans Statue located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The reverse depicts an emblem of the US Navy, featuring an eagle grasping an anchor in its talons, encircled by chains and rope, symbolic of naval traditions dating back to the nation’s first ships. Battling a shadowy enemy, the men and women who served their country during the Vietnam War fought courageously to uphold America's promise to defend the cause of freedom throughout the world. Honoring thier mission to protect the citizens of South Vietnam from the brutal aggression of the North Vietnamese communist forces, they refused to surrender a single battle throughout the entire span of America's longest war. From the launch of combat operations in 1965 to the withdrawl of U.S. Forces in 1973, America's brave fighting men and women sacrificed their lives to sustain the hopes of a people striving desperately to form a more democratic society in the face of ruthless tyranny. ™ Department of the Navy.
