President Johnson ordered troops to Vietnam to protect US airbases. It was On
This Day in 1965, that the first Hawk air defense missile battalion was

This was the first physical showing of American combat troops in South Vietnam . Our
military involvement sparked considerable reaction around the world, as well as
demonstrations here at home.

This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events.
