The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) will be hosting the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. The 3-Day event for Vietnam-era Veterans and their families, allies of the United States and all Minnesotans who wish to thank our Veterans is being held June 13-15 at the Mall of America. Over the three days, attendees can see historical displays from the Minnesota Military and Veterans Museum and watch screenings of Vietnam War documentaries, view the American Veterans Traveling Tribute Memorial Wall and walk through a Resource Fair which will provide valuable resources and information for Minnesota Vietnam Veterans and their families. On Friday June 14th at 11am there will be a Commemoration Program at the Mall of America in the Huntington Bank Rotunda with speakers, music and storytelling, followed by a complimentary brunch for Vietnam Veterans.
The event will highlight the service of the US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, recognize the crucial contributions and deep sacrifices made by the allies of the United States during the Vietnam War, and provide an opportunity for healing, thanking and honoring Minnesota Vietnam Veterans, in whatever branch or capacity they served.
“We are humbled to honor our Minnesota Vietnam-era Veterans and allies of the United States through this special event. This group of Veterans made great sacrifices fighting a very difficult war and did not receive a warm welcome when they returned,” said Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Brad Lindsay. “We hope this event will provide gratitude and healing for our Veterans, our Allies and their families, and provide them the opportunity to connect with other Vietnam Veterans and learn about valuable resources available to them”
