The Sacajawea Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is partnering with the Department of Defense on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to pay tribute to Washington state Vietnam veterans.
A commemoration pinning ceremony at the Vietnam War Memorial on the Washington state Capitol campus in Olympia will honor living U.S. veterans who served on active duty during the period from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, with a lapel pin as a lasting memento of the nation’s appreciation.
DAR members will participate in the ceremony by reading the names of veterans who are listed as killed in action or missing in action. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. and will continue until all names have been read.
