Dwight Eisenhower sent the first advisers to Vietnam. John F Kennedy sent the first US Green Berets to Vietnam.

President Dwight Eisenhower, in the 1950s. Vietnam (formerly French Indo-China) was a Fench colony, so France sent the first 'western' troops there long before most Americans had heard of the area. Before that, various Asian peoples roamed the area.
