The nation as a whole has done very little to repair the damage done to Vietnam Vets. However, there has been some events that have made a big difference in the attitude of the nation towards the vets. For example, in the 80s, there were a few parades sponsored by big cities, the largest being the New York City ticker tape parade in 1985 and the Chicago Welcome Home parade in 1986. These parades opened the door for the American people to say thank you to the veterans who had fought and died in Vietnam without raising the spectre of any wrong doing by our government or military.
Therefore, the veteran was allowed to feel appreciated for the first time since he arrived home from Vietnam and this went a long way to healing invisible wounds inflicted by the nation during the war.
It was these feelings toward the veteran that created the whole new approach to the returning veteran and as early as 1991 with the Welcome Home parade to the Gulf War veterans, the nation began to separate the warrior from the government's actions. They showed their support more readily to the returning veteran. This continues today with many groups sponsoring welcome home committees to greet returning veterans from Iraq.
In 1975; President Gerald R. Ford's attitude toward North Vietnam's invasion of South Vietnam was to state that South Vietnam was a beaten country and that the USA had done all that could be done and the USA was giving up on South Vietnam, which was overrun in 55 days.
Much of the training to prepare troops for the conditions of the Vietnam jungles was done there.
VA medical facilities offer free care for service connected disabilities, financial disability payments are awarded to service connected disabilities, counselling is available, and the GI bill allows, at no cost to Viet Veterans, home loans, college/trade school education and training.
LBJ refused to run for re-election; he was burned out. The nation wanted (and needed) an experienced "get the job done" president. Nixon promised to deliver! The country believed him. What happened next is a story for another time.
The public didn't do it; the Commander in Chief ordered it done.

The Ford and Carter presidencies failed to repair the damage done to the reputation of the presidency by the Watergate scandal because they pardoned NIxon. They decided to sweep it under the rug instead of correcting the wrongs Nixon done.
Replace the bent valves and inspect the pistons & head for damage. Replace and repair as necessary any defective parts.
It depends how much damage was done to the roof. If it just knocked off a few tiles, any roof repair company can fix that. If it did major damage, look into getting the whole roof replaced.
