In January 1973, U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam and POWs were released when an agreement was reached, effectively ending the war for the U.S. The war concluded with the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, leading to the reunification of North and South Vietnam under Communist control.
Throughout the Vietnam War, 261 U.S. troops received the Medal of Honor.
About 58,220 U.S. service members died in the Vietnam War.
