Honoring Vietnam Veterans

March 29th is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. A special Day, across the nation, to thank and honor these veterans and their families, for their service and sacrifice. Spearheading the effort is the United States Department of Defense Vietnam War Commemoration office. As a Commemorative Partner, Prayer Angels for the Military, Inc. encourages Santa Clarita businesses, groups, and community members to acknowledge this special day, honoring our Vietnam Veterans. It’s never too late for a heartfelt “Thank You”.
Prayer Angels for the Military, Inc. organizes military related community events,and is happy to work with local organizations and businesses to facilitate the goal of thanking and honoring our Vietnam Veterans. Certificates and pins will be made available for these events, presented on behalf of a grateful nation, to any service member who served on active duty, regardless of location, between Nov.1, 1955, and May 15, 1975. The commemoration program, which began in 2008, will run through 2025.
The way our Vietnam Veterans were treated upon their return was unforgivable. They came home to little or no support, and degrading abuse from strangers. The movement against the war itself turned into mistreatment of the service members who fought it. All this, on top of the wounds they suffered! These veterans made a vow to never let this happen again, supporting newer generations of our troops. As one young serviceman said “You paved the way for us, your generation is why we’re welcomed back!”
Many of our Vietnam Veterans have worked with Prayer Angels for the Military, Inc. for many years, supporting local troops with care packages throughout their deployments, and welcoming them home on their return. Prayer Angels, a Newhall based 501c3 non-profit, is a team of Blue Star Families (with a family member serving), Gold Star Families (with the death of a family member while serving), along with veterans, groups, schools, churches, businesses, and community members, of all ages. Local veterans are always supported through Prayer Angel programs.
