Vietnam
Veterans' Commemoration is coming in March
Vietnam
Veterans Day in Ohio became a reality last year when Governor John Kasich signed
Senate Bill 134 into law. March 26-29 of this year marks the first state-level
commemoration of Vietnam Veterans Day. Local veterans’ organizations and
communities are encouraged to hold their own events during this
time.
A number of
major events are planned for the March 26-29 state commemoration. The theme is
to finally welcome home and honor those who served, and to remember those who
didn’t make it back. Events will be held at the Ohio Historical Society and at
the Statehouse. The highlight of the four-day commemoration is the hosting of
the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall by the Ohio Historical Society. A formal
dinner is planned for the Statehouse, along with an opening ceremony at the Ohio
Historical Society and a closing ceremony at the Statehouse. There will also be
a final memorial ceremony at the Wall to close out the
commemoration.
Another key
component of the commemoration is education. Panel discussions will be held at
the Ohio Historical Society for the first three days of the event to focus on
the experiences of veterans provide a perspective on the war and its
aftermath.
The Ohio
Department of Veterans Services’ web site contains a special section with a
schedule of events and other details of the commemoration.
The special
section also contains information on how to volunteer to support the
commemoration. Volunteers are needed to help reach out to veterans and veteran
organizations, staff the events, greet veterans, provide services to veterans
and their families who are in attendance, and several other
functions.
We hope all
Ohio veterans will plan to be a part. For more information, see the special web
section for the commemoration at:
