To recognize military service men and women who served during the Vietnam era, as well as those who served in Korea, the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution invites all veterans who served during the Vietnam and Korean wars, whether overseas or stateside, are invited to attend an open house from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Noblesville Township Community Center, 372 S. 8th St., Noblesville.
Coffee, juice and food donated by The Farmers Bank will be served by members of the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter. Members of the “Rugged Brothers” band will entertain guests with a few favorite songs.
Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” on the anniversary of the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam. The day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home nearly 50 years ago.
The United States Congress has designated March 29 of each year to be recognized as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
The Horseshoe Prairie Chapter recognizes and thanks all our military veterans for their service and dedication to this country. Ancestors of the Daughters of the American Revolution fought to establish a country free from tyranny and provide the independence everyone enjoys today.
Please join the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter on Nov. 5 for this important occasion.
