We want to be able to do the same whether they are able to attend the event or not. Complete program, celebrating the era. Walking in we printed all posters from partner portal for the veterans to look at. Michigan National Guard, had 3 volunteers in dress blues to usher people to their seats. We did have a local newspaper in attendance. As they were seated music/military videos of the era were playing on the big screen. Complete program agenda attached. All attendees were very pleased. Response from 3 of the 5 local veterans lost in the war. Did have videos to play between speakers. After Action Review: - Not enough time to look at posters of info before ushers put them in seats. - Request RSVP from the very beginning for vets in attendance - Prior rehearsal, even though it could not have ran better - Prior instruction to speakers pertaining to mic and audio equipment - Better coordination of volunteers to set up/tear down event

Hi Joe, I hope you enjoyed a nice Easter holiday with family and friends! Question: is it possible for you to send the UWVC some of the Commemorative pins you hand out to Vietnam Veterans? Since our event, we have received several phone calls from Vietnam Veterans and/or family members of Vietnam Veterans asking for pins and we do not have any at our office. If possible, could you send approximately 100 pins and copies of the proclamation to give to these Vietnam Veterans? I sincerely appreciate anything you could do. I look forward to speaking soon - Have a wonderful day! Respectfully, Kelly
