DAR to Host Event for Korean and Vietnam War Veterans on Saturday

Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day,” the date of the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam. The day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home more than 40 years ago.

The United States Congress has designated March 29 of each year to be recognized as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This year Horseshoe Prairie Chapter, NSDAR, will recognize these veterans on Nov. 5.

To recognize military service men and women who served during the Vietnam era, as well as those who served in Korea, the Daughters of the American Revolution has invited the community to attend an Open House at Noblesville Township Community Center, 372 S 8th St, in Noblesville.*

Coffee, juice and various food items sponsored by The Farmers Bank will be served by members of the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter. Members of the “Rugged Brothers” band will entertain the crowd with live music.

*All veterans who served during the Vietnam and Korean wars, whether overseas or stateside, are invited to attend.
