Vietnam Veterans Day recognized on West Shore
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — March 29 is National Vietnam Veterans Day and there was a service in our area.
The Hampden Township Veterans Recognition Committee held its annual Vietnam Veterans Day Service at Hampden Township Veterans Park.
Organizers say it commemorates the hardships suffered and sacrifices made by 9 Million Americans during the Vietnam War.
This year's keynote speaker was retired army veteran Major General Robert P. French.
'Every year that we remember is something that they did not get when they came home from their service in Vietnam,' French said. 'It's so important that we do that each and every March 29.'
