Local Veteran outreach and our upcoming Vietnam War Veterans Day Celebration.
Vietnam War Veterans Day Celebration: Join us as we honor our Vietnam War Veterans and give them the proper recognition they have never received as well as a hearty welcome home!
This event will kickoff at 0900 with our weekly coffee hour in the OPFOB barn. The Parris Island Marine Band will begin playing around 0945 when our guests will start the short walk to our flagpole where the ceremony will take place. The Color Guard will also participate as our Vietnam heroes are properly and respectfully honored. We will have a Vietnam Veteran as our featured speaker, and our flagpole will be dedicated to a Vietnam Veteran and blessed by clergy. Light refreshments will be served at the end of the ceremony.
This event is free and open to the public, all Veterans, active duty, and their families. Please RSVP at OPFOB.org/calendar-events/
There is also an interesting story about the raising of the flag pole for Memorial Day last year. We had about 20 Veterans carry this 60' flag pole from the barn, where our Veterans and volunteers assembled it, all the way to the entrance where it was set. I included a some of these photos as well.
We also have about 2,000 pavers at the base of the flag pole that we are memorializing. We will be selling memorial pavers at the Vietnam War Veterans Day event on 3/26.
