Rancho Cordova Recognizes Vietnam Veterans

Mar 22, 2016 12:00AM ● By Source: City of Rancho Cordova

Did you serve on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces from November 1, 1955 to May 15th, 1975? If your answer is yes, then the City of Rancho Cordova wants to hear from you!

The City will be recognizing veterans who served during the Vietnam War at the Rancho Cordova City Council Meeting on Monday, April 4th. Each Veteran will receive a special Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin from the Rancho Cordova City Council as part of The U.S.A. Vietnam War Commemoration, of which the City is a proud partner.

Nine million Americans served during the Vietnam War period and 7.2 million are still living. Due to its military history, Rancho Cordova wanted to be a part of honoring these veterans in our community.

“This recognition should have been done a long time ago,” said Council Member Robert J. McGarvey who is leading the effort. “We want to let Vietnam veterans and their families know that we appreciate their service and sacrifice to our nation.”

If you would like to be recognized or have questions, please contact Delisa Verdun in the City Manager’s Office at (916) 851-8809 by Friday, April 1st.

Community members are invited to the ceremony on Monday, April 4th at 5:30 p.m. at Rancho Cordova City Hall, 2729 Prospect Park Drive.
