Point Vicente Chapter to honor Vietnam Veterans at USS Iowa Battleship’s 1st Annual Veterans Music Festival on Friday, November 11, 2016 beginning at 11:00 AM.  The Point Vicente Chapter will host a booth and make a presentation at the USS Iowa Battleship during the 1st Annual Veterans Music Festival where Vietnam Veterans will be honored and bestowed with U.S. Government issued bronze lapel pins for their service during this war.

As proclaimed by President Obama in 2012, and starting with that year’s Memorial Day celebration, the Federal Government partnered with local governments, private organizations and communities across the United States to participate in the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War—a 13 year program to honor and give thanks to a generation of proud Americans who saw our country through one of the most challenging mission we ever faced. Through this Commemoration, we will strive to live up to their example by showing our Vietnam veterans, their families, and all who have served the fullest respect and support of a grateful nation.

Therefore, on Friday, November 11th, 2016 the Point Vicente Chapter, an official commemorative community, will be privileged to host a booth at the USS Iowa Battleship’s 1st Annual Veterans Music Festival, Berth 87, Port of Los Angeles, 250 Harbor Boulevard, San Pedro. During the event, we will honor those Veterans with U.S. government issued bronze lapel pins humbly presented to every Vietnam Veteran—Living United States Veterans 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, regardless of location—along with a certificate of thanks and other special recognitions and festivities planned throughout the day.
