The Butler VA Health Care System and the Armstrong County Veteran Services plan to host a Vietnam Veteran Recognition event later this week.
An Enrollment and Claims Fair will be held on Wednesday beginning from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Armstrong County VA Clinic in Kittanning.
All Veterans are invited to attend with Vietnam Veterans receiving a 50th anniversary Vietnam War Commemoration lapel pin. VA staff will share information, assist Vets with claims, and answer questions.
March 29 was chosen to be celebrated in perpetuity as March 29, 1973 was the day Military Assistance Command Vietnam was deactivated.
