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

living Vietnam veterans and the 9 million families of those who served from
November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975! Thank you!
