Communities Honor Vietnam Veterans Across Multiple Locations

March 29 is recognized as National Vietnam War Veterans Day, a day to honor the nine million Americans who served during the Vietnam War era. Various events are being held across the country to commemorate this day, including a free pancake breakfast by the Rotary Club of Apple Valley, an open house at the VFW Post in DuBois, and a dinner organized by Siouxland Freedom Park. These gatherings aim to celebrate the contributions of Vietnam veterans and provide an opportunity for the community to express gratitude. The day was officially designated in 2017 by President Trump, marking the anniversary of the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam in 1973. Each event encourages attendance from all community members, with some requesting donations to support veterans. The recognition serves as a long-overdue tribute to those who served, many of whom faced challenges upon returning home.
