Following the communist victory on April 30, 1975, South Vietnamese veterans were rounded up and sent to reeducation camps, essentially forced labor camps in desolate areas. They were detained without trial for up to decades at a time. After being released, they and their children faced significant discrimination from the communist government. A significant proportion of the surviving South Vietnamese veterans left Vietnam for Western countries, either as boat people or through the Humanitarian Operation (HO).

"You don't have to have lost an arm or leg to be disabled," said Wayne M. Gatewood Jr. , 55, a Vietnam veteran and owner of Landover-based Quality Support Inc., which organizes conferences and works with the federal government. "You have people who are psychologically disabled and people who have serious arm and leg injuries because of the rigors of training. You can't see those things."
