50th COMMEMORATION of the VIETNAM WAR


50th COMMEMORATION of the VIETNAM WAR

About 1,400 Vietnam veterans gathered at Patriot Plaza on the grounds of the Sarasota National Cemetery to participate in the Vietnam War 50th Commemoration program on March 29th and receive a Vietnam War Veterans pin to commemorate their service. Engraved on the back of each pin, which features an eagle's head framed by stars and stripes on the front, is a simple message: “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You.”

We offer our thanks to the MOAS members who organized and participated in conducting the program; BG Jim Hesson, USA (Ret); COL Ben Knisely, USA (Ret), and Col Charles Caudill, USAF (Ret).
