All veterans who served in the US military during the Vietnam era from November 1, 1955 to April 30, 1975 are invited to a luncheon on Friday March 28, 2025. The event will be held at 12 noon at the Chattooga County Memorial Home located at 818 Memorial Drive Summerville.  All Vietnam veterans are encouraged to attend and bring their families to enjoy a time of food and fellowship.

The following day, Saturday March 29, is the official National Vietnam War Veterans Day which marks the day the last combat troops departed Vietnam on March 29, 1973.  This national holiday is a time to pay tribute to the nine million Americans who served not only in-country, but at posts around the world in support of the lengthy war effort.  It is also a time to thank the families for their support and sacrifices.

The luncheon on Friday is sponsored by VFW Post 6688, the auxiliary, and local volunteers.  For further information, call Odell Anderson at 706-397-2394 or Barbara Reece at 706-862-2657.
