This is the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam war. The US was in turmoil and these heroes were not honored-they were ostracized and even spit upon when they came home.
The Daughters of the American Revolution is working with the Vietnam50 Commission on correcting that.
We are excited about Col. Charles DeBellevue being our guest speaker.
Col. DeBellevue is from Crowley, graduated from USL and is a true hero. He is credited with downing 6 enemy fighters-the most of anyone in the war. 2 in 2 minutes!
At this event, every Vietnam Veteran or surviving spouse will be recognized and receive a lapel pin in recognition of their service as well as a proclamation from the President.
It is May 3rd at 1:30pm at the Robicheaux Center, open to the public and we really want to encourage everyone to come out and bring a Vietnam Vet and give these heroes the welcome home they deserve!
The Galvez Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution is a patriotic organization that is committed to promoting patriotism, education and preservation.
Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans
