The Leland VFW Post 12196 will host National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Mar. 29, 2023, at 5 PM, at the LELAND CULTURAL ARTS CENTER, 1212 MAGNOLIA VILLAGE WAY, LELAND, NC 28451. This commemoration will recognize all who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the period of Nov. 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975.
As part of the ceremony, as a lasting memento of our nation’s gratitude, veterans will receive a Vietnam Veterans Lapel Pin and a proclamation. Surviving spouses of those who served will also be recognized. This event is classified as “Vietnam Era Veterans.” Everyone who served during this time played a role, with the saying, “All gave some, some gave all.” We will, at the conclusion of the event, provide some refreshments. If your organization wishes to contribute some food or drinks, please let us know so we can prepare a table to serve after the ceremony. Pre-packaged items only, no dishes.
Note the change of location (the previous location was Blossoms at Magnolia Greens). We ask that you post this event on your website and request that those wishing to attend provide a list of names so we can order a sufficient number of pins and proclamations. Please RSVP as soon as possible but NLT Mar. 6th to [email protected]. Thanks for your service to our country.
