Ceremony Recognizes Veterans

Week of April 20, 2009

One-hundred twenty-three American heroes from the Vietnam War era were honored posthumously at the 11th annual "In Memory Day" ceremony April 20 at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. "In Memory Day" was created to pay tribute to the men and women who died prematurely from noncombat injuries and emotional suffering caused directly by the Vietnam War, but who are not eligible to have their names inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. A list of the honorees and their hometowns is available at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund website.
