CLARKSVILLE, TN – Regent Gail Longton and Commemorative Chairman Sue Ellen Yates of the Captain William Edmiston Chapter, NSDAR, look on as Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett signs the Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day Proclamation for March 29, 2021, to remember and honor all who served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975.
“Our nation has learned much since its birth, and one fundamental lesson learned after the Vietnam War was how important it is to support our veterans,” Yates said. “It is easy in our day-to-day life to forget the sacrifices made in the fight against the restrictive ideals of communism. On March 29, 2021, may we all seek out Vietnam veterans and express our deepest gratitude for their service.”
