BOISE, Idaho — On April 23, 1975, in front of a crowd at Tulane University, President Gerald Ford declared the war in Vietnam over. Seven days later, on April 30, 1975, the fall of Saigon officially marked the end of the nearly 20-year war.

More than 58,000 Americans were killed, including 200 Idahoans. Their names live on at the Vietnam Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.

Today, more than 44,000 Vietnam Veterans call Idaho home.
