The Leland VFW Post 12196 will be hosting a National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Mar. 29, 2023 at 5 PM at LELAND CULTURAL ARTS CENTER, 1212 MAGNOLIA VILLAGE WAY, LELAND, NC (vs Blossoms Restaurant). This commemoration recognizes all who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975. The event HAS BEEN MOVED from Blossoms to Leland Cultural Arts. Same time and date.
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.
