Ka 2008, Congress e fetisitse molao o laelang Pentagon hore e qale selemo sa 13 ho keteka ea Ntoa ea Vietnam, ho qala ka Letsatsi la Sehopotso, May 28, 2012, le ho qetella ka Letsatsi la Veterans, November 11, 2025. Congress e fane ka $ 65 tse limilione bakeng sa Pentagon ho fihlella likolong le likoleng le molaetsa oa naha oa hore Amerika e lokela "ho leboha le ho hlompha bahlabani ba ntoa."
Ho fihlela joale, Komiti ea Khopotso ea Pentagon e qalile liketsahalo tsa sechaba sa 10,800. Komiti e nkile mokhoa o fokolang haholo, o batla balekane ba ikemiselitseng ho e-na le ho phephetsa bahlahlobisisi ba ntoa. Ho tlatsetsa ts'ebetsong ena ke nako e fokolang haholo ea histori historing ea komiti. Ka mohlala, nako ea 1945-54, e koahetsoe ka lipolelo tse khutšoanyane tse leshome le metso e 'meli.
The baeti ba fihlelang ho filimi ea kakaretso ea Ken Burns le Lynn Novick ka Ntoa ea Vietnam e hlakisa hore na ke hobane'ng ha Pentagon e sebelitse joalo. The Burns-Novick 18-saga ea saga e entse hore ho nyatsoe haholo ke bo-rahistori ba litsebi. Bob Buzzanco o ile a ngola hore haeba baetsi ba lifilimi ba ne ba bitsoa litokomane tsa bona, "Lipale tsa Batho ba neng ba le Vietnam Nakong ea Ntoa," ho ne ho ke ke ha e-ba bonolo ho itletleba ka. "Empa e phatlalatsoa e le pale ea ntoa, 'me ho eona ke bothata bo boholo ka ho fetisisa. Litlaleho tsa masole li fana ka maikutlo a susumetsang le litšoantšo tsa litšenyehelo tsa batho ntoeng, empa ha li arabe lipotso tse khōloanyane tsa hore na ke hobane'ng ha mebuso e hlasela lichaba tse nyenyane 'me e batla e ba bolaea ho Lefa la Majoe. "
Mekhoa e tloaelehileng e tloaelehileng filiming ena, ebang ke masole a lemalloang lithethefatsi kapa baetsi ba khotso ba tšoaroang hampe masole a US. Jeffrey Kimball o ile a ngola, "Tlhaloso ea bona ea ho hlasela le ho iphetola ha mokhatlo oa ntoa oa US nakong ea ntoa nakong ea Ntoa ea bobeli ea Indochina - e tsejoang hape e le Ntoa ea Amerika (ca. 1954-1974) - e sa nepahala, e arolelane, e sa phethoe ebile e fosahetse ka ho feletseng."
Baetsi ba khotso, bahlabani le bo-rahistori har'a bona, ba 'nile ba etsa boiteko ba ho lokisa mekhoa ena e mebe le ho etsa hore maikutlo a bona a ntoa a hloke toka ebile ha a hlokehe. Ha a utloa ka tumello ea Pentagon ka September 2014, bao e kileng ea e-ba bahanyetsi ba Ntoa ea Vietnam ba ile ba theha Komiti ea Khopotso ea Khotso ea Vietnam (VPCC). Morero oa oona ke ho "hlahloba mesebetsi ea Pentagon, ho ba phephetsa ha ho hlokahala, le ho phahamisa phatlalatsa karolo ea mokhatlo o khahlanong le ntoa ho felisa ntoa."
Litho tsa VPCC li kopane le liofisiri tsa Pentagon li bile li fana ka monehelo oa tsona. Boiteko bona bo hlahisitse a New York Times Sehlooho se ka Pherekhong 2016 e nang le sehlooho se reng "Baitseki ba Batla Pontšo ea Sebele ea Ntoa ea Vietnam ho Webosaete ea Pentagon," mme e lebisitse ho Pentagon ho ngola bocha karoloana ea eona ea nako ea Vietnam. Mokhahlelo oa pele o ile oa koahela polao ea My Lai, oa e bitsa "Ketsahalo ea Ka ea Lai."
VPCC e ile ea boela ea tšehetsa seboka sa Washington ka May 2015, se nang le sehlooho se reng "Vietnam: Matla a Bophelo. Ho Bolella 'Nete. Ho Ithuta Seo U Ithutang Sona. "Batho ba fetang 600 ba ne ba le teng.
E 'ngoe VPCC ho tšoareloang liboka e lokiselitsoe ho October 20-21, 2017, ketsahalo ea letsatsi la letsatsi e tla hopola letsatsi la 50th la ketsahalo e tsebahalang ea March Pentagon. Bomameli ba tla bua ka taba ea histori le ho hopola ketsahalo ka boeona. Sehlooho se seng sa puisano e tla ba "Sehlooho sa PBS le Lithuto Tse sa Rutoang." Har'a ba tšehetsang ketsahalo ena ke Bo-rahistori ba Khotso le Democracy, Likamano tsa Machaba tsa Asia Asia University ea George Washington le Veterans for Peace. Ketsahalo ena e bulehetse sechaba. Chelete ke $ 25 hammoho le $ 10 bakeng sa lijo tsa motšehare ka Moqebelo.
Tse ngata li ngoliloe ka Ntoa ea Vietnam ho tloha mekhoeng e fapaneng. Tlhaloso ea rona ka ntoa, e ngotsoeng ke John Marciano, e hlahloba morero le boitšoaro ba ntoa ho latela pono ea ntoa feela. Lentsoe la 80,000 tokomane e kenyelletsa litšoantšo tse fetang 200. Hoo e ka bang karolo ea boraro e isoa mokhatlong o khahlanong le ntoa. E ngotsoe bakeng sa websaeteng ea mohloli oa boitsebiso bo bulehileng le mohopolong ka kakaretso, re ile ra leka ho haha ka bopaki ba Litokomane tsa Pentagon, re kopa tsebiso ea morao tjena Marilyn Young, 'me re hlahlobe ntoa ka lebaka la boikutlo ba boitšoaro ba Martin Luther King Jr. .
