Dear Commemorative Partners
The Congressional Ceremony is right around the corner! Just four days after we, as a nation, celebrate our independence, this milestone event will occur in the nation’s capital. Two weeks ago, we alerted you that the Office of the Speaker of the House issued a press release announcing a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. As a reminder, this ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in Emancipation Hall of the United States Capitol Visitor Center.
The ceremony is a ticketed event for Vietnam veterans and their families. While invitations have already been distributed, this event will be streamed live around the world from the Office of the Speaker of the House.
Join us via the Internet (see below)! Collaborate with other Commemorative Partners (CP) to make this a shared event in your hometowns. Invite Vietnam veterans and their families in your local communities to view this commemorative event together as our nation’s leaders thank and honor them for their service and sacrifice. Then, take time to honor them locally following the Congressional Ceremony.

We hope you will join us online as Congress thanks and honors our 7.2 million living Vietnam veterans and the 9 million families of those who served from November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975! Thank you!
