PEPPERELL —
National Vietnam
War Veterans Day
is observed every
year on March 29,
and it is a way to
thank and honor
our nation’s
Vietnam Veterans
and their families
for their service
and sacrifice.
Commemorative events like wreath-laying
ceremonies, speeches, and
luncheons are held to mark
the occasion at venues that
include the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington DC,
war veteran medical
facilities, and military
cemeteries.
Vietnam Veteran Kenny English gathered in
Pepperell with other
Veterans from the same
conflict for the
recently-established day of
remembrance. English, who is
now retired, enjoys raising
the town flag each day.
“I love this country and it is the greatest in
the world,” English said.
Vietnam War Veterans Day was first observed
as a one-time occasion on
March 29, 2012, when
President Barack Obama
issued a proclamation
calling on “all Americans to
observe this day with
appropriate programs,
ceremonies, and activities.”
The day was then
introduced as an annual
event in 2017 when
President Donald Trump
signed the Vietnam
War Veterans Recognition Act
of 2017.
