March 29 Is National Vietnam Veterans Day

-

Saturday, March 29, 2025, marks the 52nd Anniversary of the U.S. departure from Vietnam. While this has been a well-kept secret, we will be holding a program honoring all that served back then in our United States Military. This will be our 4th year honoring this memorable occasion. We plan to start promptly at 10:30AM regardless of weather.

The observance will be held in Veterans Park, 303 E. Gartner Road.

This observance is not just limited to those that served in Vietnam, but to “All Who Served” our Great Country during the Vietnam War. 

In addition, we will recognize our “11 Naperville Fallen” as they each paid the ultimate price to protect our Freedoms, and we recognize all the Men and Women that paid the ultimate price because of their Service in Vietnam.

Also, we will be laying a wreath at the Veterans Park Wall. And after this Service, we will move to our “Gold Star Family Memorial” to lay a wreath at our Memorial in honor of all that paid the “Ultimate Sacrifice” while serving in All Wars.

As in the past, this ceremony will be open to the public, especially all Veterans. Seating will be available for those that need to sit. There will be ample parking available across the street at Grace United Methodist Church.

Thank you and see you then.

—Wayne Fischer,
VN ’67-68-USMC
