Vietnam Veterans Recognition Ceremony

Vietnam Veterans Recognition Ceremony hosted by Reps. Jerry Stern and Rick Geist on April 23 at the Jaffa Shrine. The emotional ceremony included special guest speaker and Vietnam veteran Samuel Hayes Jr., a short video, reading of the names of Blair County casualties, presentation of medals to the veterans, three volleys of rifle fire by the Blair County Veteran’s Honor Guard and the performance of several musical selections.

Former U.S. Army Col. Terry Wagner attended the recognition ceremony and sent me a wonderful letter afterward that you can read here.
