The Leland VFW Post 12196 will be hosting a National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Mar. 29, 2022 at 5 pm. The event will be held at Founder’s Park in Leland (113 Town Hall Dr, Leland, NC 28451). The commemoration recognizes all who served on active duty in the U. S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975.

 As part of that ceremony, as a lasting memento of the nation’s gratitude, veterans will receive the Vietnam Veterans Lapel Pin shown here. Surviving spouses of those who served will also be recognized. This includes veterans classified as “Vietnam Era Veterans.” Everyone who served during that time played a role, thus the saying, “All gave some, some gave all.”

John E. Jacobs American Legion Post 68, Leland, North Carolina will support the VFW in this ceremony.

Veterans and family members of veterans must pre-register to receive the pin. If you would like to be a part of this event, please fill out the registration form below and email to Nate Pringle at vfwpost12196@gmail.com. You can also mail it to P. O. Box 488, Leland, NC 28451.
