Lee Dennison Building to mark the 50^th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Hundreds of veterans and their families, veteran’s groups and local and state officials are expected to attend.

The event will serve as a ‘welcome home’ celebration for local Vietnam veterans who were treated unfavorably upon their return home from service. March 29 is nationally observed as National Vietnam Veterans Day that recognizes the sacrifices made by millions of Americans during the Vietnam War.
