The Little Rock Air Force Base will honor Vietnam-era veterans on March 29 with a pinning ceremony at the base exchange.
March 29 is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Veterans who served on active duty any time from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, will receive free lapel pins provided by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in partnership with the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration.
The pins feature the message, “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You.”
“We owe so much to these heroes, and it’s a privilege for the exchange to have an opportunity to thank them during this ceremony,” said Little Rock AFB Exchange General Manager Barbara Commons. “The pins are a lasting memento of the nation’s gratitude to these veterans for their service, valor and sacrifice.”
All veterans with service-connected disabilities are now eligible to shop at the LRAFB exchange (BX), as are retirees, active-duty and military dependents. Veterans with service-connected disabilities and their primary family caregivers can find more information on accessing the exchange at ShopMyExchange.com/Vets.
