Palm Springs American Legion to host event Saturday for 'National Vietnam War Veterans Day'

National Vietnam War Veterans Day, first observed in 2012 and officially recognized on March 29, was commemorated with several events, including ceremonies in Milwaukee and Yanceyville, and is part of a 20-year recognition effort.
These events served to honor Vietnam veterans, many of whom never received proper appreciation, and to remind people that local veterans still need support.
On Friday, March 28, the Milwaukee VA hosted a wreath-laying ceremony at Wood National Cemetery, with local leaders placing three wreaths to honor those who served, ahead of National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
Another event in Cudahy, hosted by the Milwaukee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Kelly Senior Center, featured Chaplain Larry McCarty as the guest speaker on Saturday, March 29, while the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond held its 8th annual ceremony on Friday, with an open house on Saturday.
Michael Malloy, a Vietnam War veteran, emphasized the lasting impact of the war, stating, "This is an important reflection day for me because while this is listed as a 50th anniversary of the end of the war, the war did not end for us because it continued within us with our issues and in our medical issues.
