The Memorial, dedicated in June 1968, lists all the Oregonians killed in the war as of the date of dedication, many added later. The building where this memorial was for almost fifty years had sold and the remodeling put the memorial in harms way. The Beaverton Post has removed the Memorial from its old location and it is safely stored. The Post is presently securing funds to build the Memorial's permanent home in our Veterans Memorial Park. This is an expensive project, approx $130,000. We have secured $63,000 to date but we are reaching out to the community, organizations and corporations for financial help.

Our purpose is to honor and recognize, in general, all service men and women who died while serving and defending our country; and once again, in particular, those of the Vietnam War era. To this aim, we honor our active military and living veterans as well. Additionally, we educate our local young people about our defenders and instill in them a sense of pride and patriotism, while reaffirming to older Americans what patriotism and love of country truly means. This is our second year as a Commemorative Partner. We were honored last year to host Major General Donald C. Hilbert as our keynote speaker for our Closing Ceremony. We would love if he could return. For 2016, our theme “Honoring our Fallen Heroes for 89 Years” pays tribute to those who served in various conflicts during the course of our Nation’s 240-year history. We are also recognizing the centennial anniversary of ROTC and continue to give special recognition to Vietnam Veterans as part of our ongoing partnership with the United States 50th Anniversary Commemoration Program. We host various events leading up to parade day. Prior to the parade, we sponsor an art and essay contest for our local schoolchildren. Days before the parade, we hold a lovely awards dinner for those participants. We hope to give the contest participants some of the stickers and pins as well as use the posters to educate all attendees. We are hoping that a booth at the end of the parade, where large crowds assemble will be heavily visited. We would be honored to have your staff proudly march in the parade as well.

Our DAR Chapter is going to have a program we call "Commemoration on the Move". We will be obtaining names of Vietnam era Veterans in our community from our chapter membership. We will travel to these individuals homes to present them with certificates and other commemoration memorabilia. We will talk briefly with the veteran and family present about the purpose of the commemoration and officially welcome them home. This event was different in that it was not one big event. We located Vietnam veteran through our chapter's members. We traveled through our city visiting these veterans in their homes, or at a pre-determined location to thank them, present lapel pins and DAR certificates, a special letter from our Chapter Regent and other Commemorative information and materials. A short speech was made on the history of the 50th commemorative effort. This gave us the opportunity to visit veterans individually or in small groups, hear their stories and truly thank them. One of our chapter members reached out to about 30 of her former classmates who lived out of our local area. Many had not heard from her in years. They had marvelous conversations, each veteran truly expressing their gratitude that she had found them and told them about the Commemoration. Packages including all of the items listed below along with a special letter written by the Regent were mailed to each of them. Whether local or not, the gratitude expressed by all the veterans was overwhelming. Many said this is the first time anyone ever recognized them. Someone said the war was so long ago they don't think about it much anymore. Many thank you notes and letters were received. In times where various factors make it difficult to have a single large event, this method of reaching veterans truly worked and we would recommend it to other Commemorative Partners.

These pins will be used for pinning ceremonies to honor and thank Vietnam Veterans who are in hospice care with our organization. All Veterans we serve are recognized with a "thank you" flag-pinning ceremony to honor their service; it would be especially nice to have a specific pin for the Vietnam Veterans. We also attempt to have as many family members as possible present for these bedside pinning ceremonies: they are often quite emotional, as this is a final opportunity for the service of these brave men and women to be acknowledged. This event was a great success! We wanted to recognize our own five staff and hospice volunteers who are Vietnam Veterans, and we wanted to surprise them with the honor on Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day (March 30). The presentation of the Vietnam Veteran lapel pin, a personalized certificate and a bumper sticker. A special ceremony and reading were done at the beginning of a presentation on Honoring Veterans at the End of Life - a mandatory in-service for our hospice volunteers - that was intentionally scheduled on that date. We had asked the Veterans to be present just so we could introduce them to the group assembled for the program. Our CEO read a tribute to them, and they were pinned and thanked, and received a lengthy standing ovation from the crowd in attendance. The five Vietnam Veterans who were honored were Army (3) and Navy (2). Photos were taken and included in our organization's weekly newsletter distributed to 900+ staff and 1500+ volunteers.

to seek out and honor more of the local Vietnam era veterans prior to Memorial Day celebrations by presentation of lapel pins and DAR Certificates of Appreciation. One chapter member traveled to several towns in Vermont to individually present the NSDAR Certificate of Appreciation, official Vietnam Lapel Pin and packets of stickers, Proclamation, Fact Sheet, buttons to Vietnam era veterans. One was a surprise presentation to a woman veteran after she was a speaker at our April chapter meeting. Many were witnessed by immediate family members. Three were presented posthumously. A few were mailed after contacting recipients. Every veteran showed their appreciation for being recognized, no matter where their service had been performed during that era. Some provided contact information for others to be recognized. Many were surprised to hear about this program. Information has been submitted for publication in the chapter and state DAR newsletters. NOTE: I finished using up supplies left over from our other two events and have counted them in the totals shown below. In some instances we had received a different number of items than initially requested, so some discrepancy in matching quantities.

Event was in partership with the Vietnam Memorial Board. We asked for permission to help honor our Vietnam heroes by setting up a table and providing material provided from the 50th Commemorative Partner Program. We created individual DAR certificates as each Veteran visited our table. We thanked each one for their service, listened to their stories, and were glad we had the opportunity to do so. We were honored to be part of this wonderful Memorial Day program. The whole program was nicely done with Cadets, Scouts taking part in the posting of the colors. The speakers were very knowledgable and moving. My advice to other partners, partner with other organizations near you to support honoring our Vietnam heroes - seek out VFM, AMVETS, and connections with Memorials to help each other obtain the same goal. Sometimes taking on an event on your own can seem overwhelming.

We conducted three veteran town hall in Munising, MI (May 9); Newberry, MI (May 10); and Sault Ste. Marie, MI (May 10). The only issue encountered was that at two of our town halls, there was one Korean conflict veteran at each that complained that Korean veterans were once again slighted.

The event was a success and most moving and appropriate. Doolittle Park was recently transformed by the city of Valparaiso. It now has an area with a wall to list the local veterans who were killed in action. This year's ceremony was particularly applicable to our 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War. The Key note speaker Lt. Colonel Joe Arthur, Retired spoke very eloquently concerning all deceased veterans. He did focus on Vietnam veterans through his remembrances of his brother-in-law that was killed May 1967 in theater. Included in his speech was a reading of a poem that was written by his brother in law shortly before his death and received approximately three weeks after the notification of his death. The other speakers included Mayors of Valparaiso and Niceville, a chaplain from Eglin AFB as well as closing remarks from another local serviceman.The event seemed to reverberate with the attendees to a greater degree this year for the following reasons. The new wall with a listing of the local veterans killed in action and the key note speakers remarks about his family member.

We also honored about 35 Vietnam veterans along the way with the special lapel pin and veteran pin as well as our thanks for their service. We identified them mostly by the caps they were wearing . They were truly grateful and their spouses thanked us as well. We were glad we could use the pins & stickers to make adults and children aware of the commemoration and told them to never forget our Vietnam Vets. The parade moved faster than expected and we only had 4 walkers or we could have honored more vets. But a parade venue is a gret way to reach a large number of people.

Along with the usual Memorial Day Ceremony, the highlight of this years Ceremony will be to recognize and honor veterans that served during the period of November 1, 1955 - May 15, 1975. Special recognition will be given to veterans that served in Vietnam and any family of veterans that last there live during or since that period. This was our first event that included the presentation of the Anniversary Vietnam War Pin to veterans that served during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975. Our Post currently has 64 members that served during that period. We contacted as many as possible regarding the ceremony. Out of the 64, we presented the pin to 21. Some of the 64 did not respond. Some, that we did get hold of were not available for this date, for one reason or another. We will continue to work with these two groups for future recognition possibilities. There were a few that refused to accept the recognition feeling they were not worthy of the recognition because they did not participate in the Vietnam theater. This Memorial Day Ceremony was attended by an estimated 135 people. The Veitnam War Era Anniversary ceremony started with the reading of the Presidential Proclamation, following by a reading of the meaning behind the flag, while the flag was held out for everyone to see. Then there was the individual presentation of the Anniversary Pin to each Vietnam War Ear veteran by the Post Commander while each name was read off by the Post First Vic-commander. Along with the pin, each veteran received a packet containing one bumper, flag decal, tin pin and eagle decal. The Muskego Mayor and two Muskego Alderman were also present. There were 13 members of two Muskego high school choir groups (Midnight Men & Latte Ladies) that sang during the ceremony. There were 10 members of the Muskego Police Explores Scout helping assisting with the flag ceremony.The ladies from the Muskego Legion Post 356 Auxiliary presented a wreath recognizing all fallen soldi

Also incorporated the other two Navy Nurse Corps officers and another USMC spouse who received their pins earlier. Made for an emotional and warm event that touched all.

We had wanted to locate a living relative for each one so we could present a certificate and pin to them in honor of their relative. We felt that even though they did not live long enough for the 50th Anniversary Commemoration that they should receive the same honor as those still living. We located one wife who attended the ceremony. She was very touched to have her husband remembered. We then went to each grave and placed a rose where we thanked them for this service.

Our Memorial Day Tribute is an event we hold annually on Memorial Day. We have a ceremony, refreshments, and a placement of American flags on all veterans graves in our cemetery. This year we will be adding several things listed below to honor our Vietnam Veterans specifically: 1.Our Mayor will acknowledge the 50th Anniversary and our Commemorative Partnership, as well as the Vietnam Veterans in attendance at the event. Each will be given a chance to introduce themselves and receive a flag pin. 2. We will have fact boards up around the room, acknowledging allies, technology advances, the Commemorative Seal, and other statistics from the War. 3. Some Vietnam Veterans will take part in our honor guard Presentation of Colors. We will invite all to our Veterans Day event in November and aim to include an even bigger recognition to the Vietnam Veterans at this ceremony and will be reaching out to the Commemorative Partnership program for assistance with pins, etc. The event was a success. Our Mayor did a great job recognizing the Vietnam Veterans that were present and talking about the war and how important that it is for all of us to remember, honor, and help those who served. Personal stories were told about it. We also had 7 Vietnam Veterans participate in the Full Honor Ceremony, I think this was a very nice addition to the ceremony and created a good focus on the Commemoration of the Vietnam War. We had several Fact Boards in the back with statistics, facts, info on the commemorative seal, and the proclamation for guests to look at as well. Overall I think we had a good amount of information and recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War and I look forward to our event on Veterans Day, hoping for even more participation.

Please see the attached reports on a few of the events. We partnered with 2 other partners to ensure they had sufficient supplies.

In front of the three cars were two pairs of Tuscarora members carrying banners. One of the banners was our Tuscarora Chapter banner. The other was the banner for the Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. Was the parade a success? We thought so. There were school bands participating. There were antique cars, motorcycles, penny-farthing cycles, boy scouts,flag waving groupsand many Veterans groups in the parade. How were our objectives fulfilled? 1. We definitely thanked and honored the Vietnam Veterans as well as veterans from other wars, by our presence in our parade. We waved American flags and were joyful as we honored them. 2. Many Vietnam Veterans were watching the parade. They wore their hats and their tee shirts so they were obvious. Veterans from other wars were watching the parade as well. 2. Media coverage: The parade was not covered by the media on television. 4. Because we were honoring Veterans who had died, the occasion was a bit more somber.

In addition we partnered with the Vietnam Veterans of America, and the Arizona Department of Veterans Services in holding a 50th Anniversary Luncheon at the Sedona Elks Lodge on April 1, 2016. During the luncheon we honored 150 Vietnam Era Veterans with 50th Anniversary lapel pins, 50th Anniversary Challenge coins from the AZDVS. and Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day commemorative pins from the City of Sedona. Due to capacity restrictions we limited the luncheon to veterans only. Our guest speaker was Col. Thomas H. Kirk, Jr., USAF (Retired). Col. Kirk was a Vietnam POW who was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 and was repatriated in 1973. His talk was inspiring to all who were in attendance. Also in attendance were Col. Wanda Wright, USAF (Ret.), Director of the Arizona Department of Veterans Services, Gene Crego, State President of the Arizona Council of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Dr. Keith Piatt, Acting Director of the Northern Arizona VA Health Care system, Jefferson Begay, American Legion, Sacaton Arizona, and Eduard Uzumeckis, PhD, Chair of the Sedona Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day Steering Committee.

Whiteside Station Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution partnered with Columbia American Legion Post 581 for a Vietnam War Veteran 50th Anniversary celebration on Memorial Day, 2016. The event was held at the American Legion Hall. The event was a huge success and attended by over 350 people, a capacity crowd. Over 75 Monroe County Vietnam War Veterans were recognized for their service to our country and were "welcomed home." Vietnam War Veterans were presented DAR certificates of appreciation, Vietnam War 50th anniversary lapel stick pins, and cards crafted and signed by Monroe County schoolchildren. In attendance were over 175 Vietnam Veteran's family members and friends. A luncheon followed the Memorial Day ceremonies. Whiteside Station Chapter has spent two years compiling the names of the Monroe County Vietnam War veterans. Before the event, 280 invitations were mailed to these veterans. The local newspapers also published information about the event. We heard from many veterans who lived out of town or who were not able to attend the event. We have mailed them DAR certificates of appreciation, the Vietnam War 50th anniversary lapel stick pins and cards from the schoolchildren. We believe the large turnout was a result of the personal invitations mailed to each Monroe County Vietnam War Veteran we were able to locate.

Event was a success. We were inspired by re-aired footage from Arlington news. We flew the American flag and the POW/MIA flag from the front of our garage and decided to have a quiet, thoughtful Memorial Day, just my husband and me. We had made bouquets from flowers and tropical greenery from our yard and drove first to the Red Wings MOH Memorial in Kahala. The only thing that might be considered an issue was the absence of an audience; however, it was very rewarding to place the flowers without the expectation of pleasing myna ypeople. It was enough to imagine how the display touched those who found it and enjoyed it days after. It seemed just as meaningful the way we did it. In the future, many will be inspired to visit this memorial or another, alone, to quietly and solemnly honor it and the memories of those whose sacrifices are forever enshrined there.
