“A Greatful Nation Thanks and Honors You”

Those were the words that could be heard this afternoon during a Vietnam Veteran Pinning Ceremony here in Portage.

The program behind the ceremony was authorized by Congress in the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act. The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration was then officially launched with a national event on May 28, 2012.

Thank you and your families for your sacrifice and service.
