Vietnam memorial to celebrate 20th anniversary

VFW Magazine, Sept, 2002

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., will commemorate its 20th anniversary from Nov. 6-11. Festivities begin with a musical tribute on the National Mall followed over the next four days by a reading of all the names on the memorial. On Veterans Day, an official observance will occur.

VFW will be represented by a booth at the ceremony and will sponsor 50 wounded Vietnam vets on a trip to attend the memorial events.
