This will be the 35th anniversary of the " Vietnam Veterans Annual Vigil."
This year we're attempting to do something that's never been done before, that is to surround all the memorials with people.
This will take place moments before the Chaplain closes with his prayer.
The research that was done has calculated the number of people to actually get this done would take around 586 people. That number is a big stretch possibly could do it with less but we will need to help of everyone to achieve this.
Looking for groups that can help us could be girl scout groups boy scout groups dance groups theater groups, US postal workers UPS workers . National guard.. VFW members.. American Legion members.. Motorcycle groups.. individuals welcome bring your family...does not have to be with a group just come we would love to have you!
