Honoring our Vietnam Veterans
There are about 200,000 Vietnam-era veterans in Virginia, and I want to honor those who call our Fifth Congressional District home. While I didn’t serve in our Armed Forces, I recognize the tremendous sacrifice our servicemembers – past and present – have made to protect our lives and many freedoms granted to us by our Founders.

I am proud and humbled to partner with the Vietnam War Commemoration to find eligible Vietnam-era veterans and their families in order to honor them accordingly. The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration is a national 50th anniversary commemoration. It began with a Presidential inaugural event at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Memorial Day, May 28, 2012, and concludes on Veterans Day, November 11, 2025, by Presidential Proclamation.
The primary objective is to thank and honor our Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice on behalf of our nation. Each participating veteran or family member will receive a commemorative lapel pin and certificate of special recognition as a token of our nation’s gratitude.
