Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War

Being we are in the midst of commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War we should take notice of an especially fitting ongoing project.

A group is in search of photos of some of our fallen Vietnam Veterans for inclusion in the Operation Remember project. This project will not be completed until photos are obtained of all 1046 Sons of Maryland who made the ultimate sacrifice. If you have information or a photo of any our fallen heroes, please contactremember@vva451.org. It is our duty to remember.

Contact: Jim Gerity, Chairperson
Operation Remember Vietnam Veterans of America Baltimore, Chapter 451
