National Vietnam War Veterans Day in Cleveland: Honoring those who served

March 29 has been designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

CLEVELAND — It’s National Vietnam War Veterans Day, and the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System paid tribute with a commemoration and wreath laying ceremony at 9 a.m. at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center Atrium Entrance.

“Many of these men and women you’ve seen in halls and offices across the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System,” the Cleveland VA Medical Center posted on Facebook. “If you see one of these heroes, please take a moment to thank them for their service and let them know how much we appreciate them.”
