Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day
March 29th 2018 by Dee Loflin
NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY
My father was a Vietnam War Veteran. Many who returned from the war were not respected and it took a very long time for them to be honored. Honor them today by flying the greatest national on earth's flag and if you see a VETERAN today, let them know how much you appreciate them. Thank them for their service and sacrifice. All too often we forget, let's not forget today.
National Vietnam War Veterans Day on March 29 honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the longest conflict in United States history.
It was on March 29, 1973, when combat and combat support units withdrew from South Vietnam. Generations later, Veterans of this time period are gaining the respect that was not so freely given upon their return. Involving five U.S. presidents, crossing nearly two decades and 500,000 U.S.military personnel, it left an indelible mark on the American psyche.
Returning Veterans did not always receive respectful welcomes upon their arrive on American soil. There were 58,000 killed, never to return. National Vietnam War Veterans Day recognize the military service of these men and women who answered the call to service their country when she needed them. They didn’t make the decisions to go to war.
On National Vietnam War Veterans Day, we recognize the service and duty rendered by all servicemen and women of this era.
Around the country, commemorative events, speeches and luncheons are being held inviting Vietnam Veterans as honored guests. Thank a Vietnam Veteran. Buy them a drink or lunch. Send them a shout out using #VietnamWarVeteransDay on social media.
U.S. Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., introduced legislation in 2017 to honor Vietnam Veterans with a day on the anniversary of the withdrawal of military units from South Vietnam.
President Donald Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Day Act on March 28, 2017, calling for U.S. flags to be flown on March 29 for those who served.

Major Change in News Feed Algorithm
March 28th 2018 by Dee Loflin
As you may already be aware, on January 11, 2018 Facebook announced a major change to its News Feed algorithm that will profoundly impact brands’ ability to reach people on Facebook through organic distribution. This change has affected the ShowMe Times and how you see articles, photos, and postings.
"The change prioritizes interactions between friends and family over company-generated posts, meaning that content consumed directly from business pages on Facebook will shrink and content that is shared & talked about between friends will grow."
In particular, posts that generate “interactions” such as comments and shares will be weighted more heavily than post that generate just likes or reactions. In addition, posts with longer comments will be weighted more heavily than those with short ones.
People browsing Facebook will see more content from friends and family and less from brands and publishers.
The ShowMe Times needs your help by commenting and sharing each of the articles posted as well as photo albums so that everyone can see them. Several people have texted or messaged the ShowMe Times looking for articles that were already posted, but they did not see in their news feed. If each person shares, likes, or comments on just a couple of the posts each day that would help greatly with keeping the information available to the public. A huge thank you in advance and the ShowMe Times appreciates each and everyone of you! Positive news matters!
