US Honors Vietnam Veterans on War Anniversary

As communities across the United States commemorate National Vietnam War Veterans Day, a series of events are being held to honor those who served. In Milwaukee, a wreath-laying ceremony was conducted, with veterans reflecting on the ongoing impact of the war on their lives. Similarly, Rocky Hill hosted a 'Welcome Home' ceremony to acknowledge veterans who felt underappreciated upon their return. Events in South Carolina include a special Vietnam Experience Exhibit and memorial ceremonies to recognize the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans. In Houston, a ceremony will honor veterans with the presentation of lapel pins, symbolizing gratitude for their service. Nationwide, these commemorations serve to acknowledge the sacrifices made by veterans and aim to rectify the lack of recognition they received upon returning home.
