The Veterans Commission at Washington Memorial Chapel has announced that it will host a special service and luncheon to honor National Vietnam War Veterans Day on Saturday, March 29 at 11 AM at the Washington Memorial Chapel (2000 Valley Forge Park Rd, King of Prussia, PA). Commemorating the 1973 withdrawal of the last U.S. combat troops from Vietnam, the event will recognize the courage, sacrifice, and bravery of the men and women who served during the Vietnam War.

The service will include prayers, scripture readings, and hymns to pay tribute to Vietnam veterans and their families. A keynote address will also be delivered by U.S. Navy Veteran Gardiner Pearson reflecting on the service and legacy of Vietnam veterans and the importance of remembering their contributions to our nation. Pearson, who served as junior officer in the U.S. Navy from 1967 to 1970, was stationed aboard the USS Crockett (PG-88), operating on the Cua Lon River, providing support for military operations during the Vietnam War.

Father Tommy will be hosting his Revolutionary BBQ in Patriots Hall immediately following the service.
