Vietnam Veteran Commemoration Pinning
Thank you so much for your interest in this event – we have now reached full capacity. For questions please reach out to our office directly at 619-280-5353.
This November, Congresswoman Jacobs will again be thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. This event is aligned with the U.S. Vietnam War Commemoration—a national 50th anniversary commemoration, authorized by Congress and launched by President Barack Obama in 2012. The Congresswoman will provide a private presentation to veterans as a lasting memento of the nation's thanks and a much-deserved welcome home.
Please note: This is event is open to residents of CA-51 only.
Eligibility: Living U.S. veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible to receive one lapel pin.
According to the Commemoration Board, "There is no distinction between veterans who served in-country, in-theater, or who were stationed elsewhere during the Vietnam War period. All were called to serve, none could self-determine where they were stationed, and all were seen in the same way by a country that could not separate the war from the warrior, as we do today."
