Vietnam Veterans in Need are Honored at Luncheon
The We Can Be Heroes Foundation team honored Vietnam Veterans in need during a special luncheon commemorating National Vietnam Veterans Day. A cake recognizing the occasion brought smiles and many photographs while donated duffel bags and Dollar Tree gift card drawings added fun and encouragement throughout the event.
Veterans also participated in a discussion about the American Legion-supported Vietnam War documentary Truths from Veterans and Myths from the Media , produced by veterans who served during the Vietnam War.
Vietnam Era Army Veteran Lori Garland spoke with attendees about the First Coast Honor Flight , which provides free one-day trips for veterans from Jacksonville to Washington, D.C.
Garland serves as the American Legion Post 283 Chair of the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Committee and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms.
