Congressman Robert Aderholt has announced that he will host two Vietnam veteran pinning ceremonies this August to honor and thank Vietnam veterans living in Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District for their service and sacrifice.
The ceremonies will take place at the following locations:
Friday, August 22, 10:30 a.m., Alabama Music Hall of Fame, 617 U.S. Highway 72 West, Tuscumbia;
Friday, August 29, 10:30 a.m., Blount County Agri-Business Center, 6700, County Highway 1, Cleveland.
Each Vietnam veteran in attendance who resides in the Fourth Congressional District will receive a commemorative lapel pin from Congressman Aderholt as a symbol of the nation’s gratitude.
“These men and women served our nation with courage during a difficult chapter in our history and many never received the recognition they so rightfully deserved when they returned home,” said Aderholt. “These ceremonies are a small, but heartfelt way to say, ‘thank you’ on behalf of a grateful nation.”
Vietnam veterans who live in the district and wish to be honored are asked to sign up in advance by visiting https://aderholt.house.gov/services/vietnam-veterans-50th-anniversary-pin-program.
Please register by August 18.
These events are part of the ongoing United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration effort to give long-overdue recognition to those who served during the Vietnam War era. Family members and the public are welcome to attend.
