‘JANE FONDA DAY:’ JUST DESSERTS OR JUST A DEBACLE?

On April 30, 1975, Saigon fell, bringing an end to the Vietnam War — a brutal conflict that saw the deaths of tens of thousands of American service members and millions of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians.

On April 30, 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors honored actor and activist Jane Fonda with a proclamation declaring that date “Jane Fonda Day” across Los Angeles County.

The decision prompted two Republican California lawmakers — Sen. Janet Nguyen, R-Huntington Beach, and Assemblyman Tri Ta, R-Westminster, to release statements condemning the board for what they said was its tone deaf decision to honor Fonda on the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
