Deadline March 30 for Vietnam veteran tributes

POULSBO — Deadline is March 30 for Vietnam War veteran profiles for Veterans Life’s April edition.

April 30 will mark the 40th anniversary of the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. We invite you to honor the Vietnam War-era veterans you know by submitting a tribute like the one shown below. There’s no cost or obligation.

Simply send us a photo of your servicemember in uniform, and a recent photo, with:

— Name
— Hometown or most recent city of residence
— Branch
— Years of service
— Highest rank attained
— Significant duty stations or deployments during the Vietnam War.
— Post-war career.
— If POW, MIA, killed in action or injured in combat, please indicate that fact.

Your servicemember did not have to have served in Vietnam to be included. All Vietnam War-era veterans will be included, whether they saw combat or supported America’s military mission from the States.

By the way, March 30 is Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. We extend our hand in welcome to all those who answered the nation’s call.

Send your Vietnam War veteran tribute to Editor, Veterans Life, P.O. Box 278, Poulsbo, WA 98370. Or email the text and photos in jpg format to rwalker@soundpublishing.com.
