The Annual Vietnam Veterans Lunch will be held on Friday, March 27, 2026, at 12 noon at the Chattooga County Memorial Home, ahead of National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Organizers say the luncheon will include a brief program to honor those who served during the Vietnam era.

All veterans who served during the Vietnam era, defined as November 1, 1955, through May 15, 1975, are invited to attend with their families, whether they served in-country or at posts around the world. Spouses of Vietnam-era veterans who have passed away are also invited as special guests.

The program will also recognize widows and widowers whose spouse served during the Vietnam era and has since passed away. Organizers encourage them to sign up for an Honor Certificate so their loved one’s service can be formally recognized.

To sign up for an Honor Certificate, call Kim Snow at the Chattooga County Extension Service at 706-857-0744 by Wednesday, March 18, 2026. Callers should be prepared to provide the military information needed for the Georgia Department of Veterans Service to print the certificate.

The event is hosted by VFW Post 6688, its Auxiliary, and local volunteers. For more information, call Barbara Reece at 706-857-8478 or Odell Anderson at 706-397-2394.
