(KNZA)--Homer White American Legion Post 66, in Hiawatha, in conjunction with the Hiawatha Ministerial Alliance and Hiawatha Kiwanis Club, will recognize National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Wednesday.
Post 66 Chaplain Jim Parker said the Legion Post will be installing “ Welcome Home” and Vietnam Veterans” banners near 10th and Oregon and 4th and Oregon. In addition, the Kiwanis Club will be installing flags all over town in recognition of the day.
On Wednesday evening, the public is invited to a candlelight vigil at 7:00 on the northside of the Brown County Courthouse in remembrance of all Vietnam veterans.
Family members and friends of Vietnam veterans are encouraged to attend.
Parker said the event is to raise awareness of the day. He said Vietnam veterans don't always get recognition.
Former President Trump signed legislation in 2017 designating March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
