National Vietnam War Veterans Day (Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs)
CAMP FOSTER – As a 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemorative Partner, the Okinawa Exchange will host a pinning ceremony for the final time at the Foster Exchange at 1000 on 29 March to honor and recognize Vietnam War-era Veterans.
The Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War was authorized by Congress, established under the secretary of defense and launched in 2012 to thank and honor Vietnam Veterans and their families through Veterans Day 2025.
Veterans who served on active duty from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, are eligible to receive a commemorative lapel pin inscribed with “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You.” The Foster Main Store ceremony will be held at 1000 on 29 March.
“Team Exchange is truly honored to once again celebrate the selfless service of Vietnam War-era Veterans who served with distinction,” said Foster Exchange Operations Manager Michael Taylor. “It is a privilege to join a thankful nation as we show our deepest appreciation and support for these heroes.”
Veterans who typically do not have access to the installation can contact the Foster Exchange for information on attending the ceremony.
