Saturday, June 13, has been designated as the day for Minnesota to honor Viet Nam veterans. Venues are Central Presbyterian Church and the Capitol complex. Details can be found at http://www.mnhonorsvietnamvets.org/program/index.htm.
As I have noted before Viet Nam vets and those who did not return have been ignored like no other group of United States veterans. We seem to forget that they did not choose the ridiculously dreamed up event to which they were summoned or the coercion called Selective Service which put so many of them there.
Last year we had a similar day in March. I am not sure why the difference, but what I posted then can be seen at http://ccmusings.blogspot.com/2008/03/in-honor-of-viet-nam-veterans.html.
