If you were in U.S. military uniform from December 1958 to May 1975 the Versailles VFW and American Legion would like to invite you to participate in the Poultry Days Grand Parade as well as pay tribute to Vietnam Veteran’s on Saturday, June 14, 2014.
During the Vietnam War, soldiers returned home one at a time, during chaotic times and often communities weren’t able to properly recognize their service. More than 50 years after the war began we would like to honor the sacrifices, heroism and positive contributions of these Veterans. Most importantly, we want to take the time to give our local Vietnam Veterans a long overdue Welcome Home.
Over 58,220 American soldiers gave their lives to protect another country and its people. Two thirds of our military force was volunteers with an average age of 21. While the war remains controversial the commitment of our Veterans to defending freedom is truly American.
For information on how to participate please email your name and branch of service to davem@pfpfoam.com or call Dave at (937)526-3836. Versailles Poultry Days has set aside a section of the 11 am Grand Parade, and a gathering to pay tribute to our Veterans will also be held at 5 pm in the gym located at 459 South Center St., Versailles, Ohio.
Donations may be made payable to Versailles VFW Post 3849 and deposited at Second National Bank or Versailles Savings & Loan in Versailles or mailed to the attention of Dave Miller, 9432 Barnes Rd. Versailles, Ohio 45380. Please indicate if you would like to be mentioned as a sponsor or if you would like to make your donation in memory of a Soldier. All funds will be used for our Veterans.
Please join us in Welcoming Home our Vietnam Veterans on June 14th in Versailles, Ohio.
