MAYODAN, NORTH CAROLINA – In partnership with the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx invites all Vietnam-era veterans residing in North Carolina's 5th Congressional District to be honored in a Vietnam War Commemoration Pinning Ceremony and receive a Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin. The ceremony will be held at 12:30PM on April 4th at the Rockingham County Cooperative Extension building.

All 5^th District constituents who served in our nation’s armed forces during the Vietnam War-era (November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975) are eligible to participate and receive a lapel pin. The Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin is a commemorative pin presented to Vietnam War veterans across the country as a lasting memento of the nation’s thanks for their service and sacrifice. These heroes deserve the commendation and the official welcome home that they never received, and that’s precisely what this ceremony is all about.

"My father and uncles were World War II veterans, my brother served in Vietnam, and I am very appreciative of the sacrifices made to protect this great country and its citizens," said Rep. Foxx. “The entire nation owes our military personnel and veterans a huge debt of gratitude and ensuring that debt is properly repaid is one of my top priorities in Congress.”

For those who are interested in participating and being recognized in the pinning ceremony, please RSVP by March 31^st via the form found online at: https://foxx.house.gov/vwc50/

Please reach out to the Boone district office at (828) 265-0240 or send an email to foxxvwc50@mail.house.gov with any additional questions. 

The Rockingham County Cooperative Extension building is located at 525 NC-65, Reidsville, NC 27320.
